Treasury Reveals North London Unclaimed Estates Since 2023

You could be entitled to a fortune through one of most recent unclaimed estates in north London.

A total of 33 estates across the region passed to the Crown as ‘ownerless property’ since the start of 2023.

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 12 years from when the estate was taken into possession of the Crown.
