There are thousands of unclaimed fortunes in the UK left by people who died without making a will.
This leaves millions of pounds languishing waiting to be collected by any relations of the people who died without someone to pass their estates on to.
HM Treasury keep detailed records of every unclaimed estate in the country.

Estates from people without a will include everything that person owns - their money, businesses, cars and property etc.
There are several relations that are eligible to make a claim on the estate:
- 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
- Uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins or their descendants)
However, unclaimed estates must be claimed within 30 years of the person's death. If you think you are eligible to claim on one of the below estates, all you need to do is prove it with a family tree.
Here's an extensive list of every unclaimed estate where the person either was born or died in Leeds:
