People across Scotland could be entitled to inherit more than 100 estates that have gone unclaimed across the region. When somebody dies with no written will or known family, their estate is passed to the Crown where it is held, waiting to be claimed.
The UK Government create an annual list of such estates that have gone undeclared, which include grand homes, untouched pensions and dormant bank accounts.
The estates are kept for 30 years, after which they become the property of the Crown and Treasury.
