If you have one of these 30 surnames you could be entitled to a fortune through these unclaimed estates in Buckinghamshire.

There are a number of estates across the county that have passed to the Crown as ‘ownerless property’, including a number added in 2024. 

This happens when a person dies without leaving a will and there are no apparent family members to claim the inheritance.

In general, estates held on the list can be claimed within a 12-year deadline, from the date the estate was taken into possession of the Crown.

The Treasury will allow claims up to 30 years from the date of the person’s death for unclaimed estates dating before 1997, subject to no interest being paid on the money that is held - if the claim is received after the 12-year period has ended.

The list of unclaimed estates is updated and published daily on the government’s website.

You could be entitled to a share of a deceased relative’s property.
