You could be entitled to a fortune through one of these unclaimed estates in Croydon.
Right now, there are 54 estates in the area that have been passed to the Crown because no owner has come forward.
This happens when someone dies without a will and no known relatives can claim their property.
In most cases, you have up to 12 years to claim an estate from the time the Crown takes possession.
Here, you’ll find the names, birthplaces, marital status, and where these individuals passed away. If you think you might be related, type your name below to check if you could inherit.
The government accepts claims for estates going back to 1997, and you have up to 30 years to make a claim.
However, no interest will be added to the money if you claim after 12 years.
The list of unclaimed estates is updated daily on the Government’s website.
Below are all the unclaimed estates in Croydon.
FLOURISH TABLE
If someone dies without leaving a valid or effective will, the following relations are entitled to the estate in the order shown below:
Husband, wife or civil partner
Children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on
Mother or father
Brothers or sisters who share both the same mother and father, or their children (nieces and nephews)
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
Grandparents
Uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins or their descendants)
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’re a first cousin of the person who passed away, you can only inherit their stuff if there are no closer family members, like a niece or nephew, who have a higher priority to inherit.
