Unclaimed estates usually occur when the deceased has not left a will or the beneficiaries of the will can’t be traced – and the next of kin, following the rules of intestacy, cannot be found either.

The people who can claim is pretty exhaustive and include: husband, wife or civil partner; children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren etc; mother or father; brothers or sisters; nieces and nephews; half brothers or sisters; grandparents; and uncles and aunts.
