New list of Nottinghamshire unclaimed estates that could be worth small fortune

Nottinghamshire Nottingham Crown Mansfield England Poland Worksop (Geopolitical Entity)

How many of us imagine discovering a long lost relative who just happens to want to leave us their estate? Well, apparently there are dozen of unclaimed inheritances across the country and literally dozens of names with Nottinghamshire links.

Although it is always sad when someone dies, those passing away without a will could leave the proceeds of their estate unclaimed. In such instances, the money, property and goods passes to the Crown where it is held, waiting to be claimed. This means that family members could be missing out on a helping hand from their, perhaps unknown relative.

The Treasury Solicitor publishes a list of such estates where a claim on the assets has not been made. We've listed below some of the Nottinghamshire names currently on the list, so if one matches yours you could be in for a windfall, albeit in sad circumstances.

The Division publishes a list of unclaimed estates which have been recently referred, but not yet administered, and historic cases which have been administered but not yet been claimed within the time limits for doing so. The last update to the list was Thursday, October 6, 2022. Estates are kept for 30 years, after which they become the property of the Crown and Treasury.

There is an order to who has a claim on an estate, starting with a husband, wife or civil partner. The Government says that "if you are, for example, a first cousin of the deceased, you would only be entitled to share in the estate if there are no relatives above you in the order of entitlement, for example, a niece or nephew.

Adding: "If your relationship to the deceased is traced through someone who survived the deceased but has since died, you will need to confirm who is entitled to deal with that person’s estate."

We're not saying that you may be rich - the amounts will vary, but it's worth checking out if your surname is on the list and one of the entries is potentially a relative. If you think that you spot a name that you think could be related to you, visit the Government website for details on what to do next.
