List of unclaimed estates in Camden in London that you could inherit if you have these surnames - how to claim

If you share any of these surnames with a list of people with unclaimed estates in London you could be entitled to money. An unclaimed estate is when someone dies without leaving a will, or when an old will is in place and the beneficiaries have died.

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

Unclaimed estates can be claimed by a number of different relatives to the person whose estate is unclaimed, but there is a list of priority regarding relation. It goes:

1. husband, wife or civil partner
2. children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on
3. mother or father
4. brothers or sisters who share both the same mother and father, or their children (nieces and nephews)
5. half brothers or sisters or their children (nieces and nephews of the half blood or their children). ‘Half ’ means they share only one parent with the deceased
6. grandparents
7. uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins or their descendants)
8. half uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins of the half blood or their children). ‘Half’ means they only share one grandparent with the deceased, not both

If you believe that you are the beneficiary of an estate, you can easily lodge a claim. People who believe they are entitled to a share of an unclaimed estate should contact The Treasury on thegovernment website.
