Thousands of estates are laying unclaimed, held in trust by the government whenever someone dies without leaving a will.
Of the countless unclaimed estates waiting to be claimed by a rightful heir, there are 138 in Ealing alone.
That means Ealing residents could be owed fortunes, left behind by relatives, and not even be aware of it.
In fact, with unclaimed estates, it is likely you could be the rightful heir to the estate without even knowing the person well or knowing that they had left something behind.
That means it's worth checking the list for family names to see if you could be related.
While some of these estates have only been unclaimed for a couple of months, some have been unclaimed for decades. Ivy Alison Howard passed away in March 1985, but her estate has still not been passed on to a next of kin.
The most recent addition was Gary Pierce, added to the list in August after passing away in Southall in March this year.
If you believe you are the heir to one of the estates, you can claim it within 12 years and receive interest on the estate, or within 30 years without receiving interest on any of the money.
The order in which people are entitled to claim an estate if the owner dies without a will
- Husband, wife or civil partner;
- Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on;
- Mother or father;
- Brothers or sisters who share both the same mother and father, or their children (nieces and nephews);
- Half brothers or sisters or their children (nieces and nephews of the half blood or their children) - ‘half ’ means they share only one parent with the deceased;
- Grandparents;
- Uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins or their descendants);
- Half uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins of the half blood or their children) - ‘half’ means they only share one grandparent with the deceased, not both.
