The United Kingdom government has updated the names and information of persons who died in the country with unclaimed estates and wills. In the updated list released on Monday, March 24, the UK government revealed that a total of 5,806 people from different countries died with no one to claim their properties.

Information from the UK government website showed that unclaimed estates have a 30-year time limit from the date of death before they are removed if no one comes forward to claim them.

The message on the UK govt website reads: “The list is updated every working day and newly advertised estates appear at the top of the list. After one day of publication, new estates drop into the rest of the list in alphabetical order.

“Any estates where the Bona Vacantia division (BVD) no longer has an interest, for example, when a claim to an estate has been admitted, will be removed daily.

Estates where the 30 year time limit from the date of death has expired are also removed. The Bona Vacantia division (BVD) of the Government Legal Department administers the estates of people who die without blood relatives and without leaving a Will” What to do if you have a claim

Those who wish to claim an estate from the list must provide proof of their relationship to the deceased.
