A list of unclaimed estates in Northumberland has been released, revealing potential inheritances for those with specific surnames. Check if you’re eligible to claim.
When someone dies without a will, their belongings go unclaimed. This includes money, property, and other assets. If no one claims them, the government keeps the money.
The Bona Vacantia division handles these claims. They provide guidance for anyone who thinks they might be entitled to an estate. The latest records show over 7,000 names, with 23 linked to Northumberland.
If you recognize a name, you could be in for a nice surprise. The exact value of these estates isn’t listed, but it could be significant.
To claim an estate, you need to be a close relative. This includes spouses, children, parents, and siblings. If you’re a first cousin, you can only claim if there are no closer relatives.
If your claim is accepted, you’ll find out the estate’s value. You’ll also need to confirm who will manage the estate. For more details, check the official government website.
Here are some names from the Northumberland unclaimed estates list: Catherine Barnes, Evelyn Joan Blackmore, and Charles Brigham, among others.
