When somebody dies leaving no will or without identifiable blood relatives and known family, the Treasury takes hold of their home and estate.

The estates can range from modest savings to very significant sums.

If nobody claims the estate within 12 years, it becomes property of the Crown.

The Treasury Solicitor has recently updated its official register of ownerless property.
