Almost 250 Unclaimed Estates linked to the City of Glasgow

When a person dies intestate, and no next of kin can be traced, their property is passed to the crown and becomes what is known as an Unclaimed Estate. New Unclaimed Estates are released weekly through the Bona Vacantia List and with almost 250 unclaimed estates in Glasgow recently being announced, it has generated the interest of many.

Ownerless property means that if you are the eligible next of kin to someone who has died intestate and featured on the list, you could stand to inherit an Estate. This asset could come in the form of money, property, a business, or personal possessions. If these estates go unclaimed, after 30 years have passed, they will then be consigned to the crown.

If you have one of the surnames listed below you may be entitled to an estate.
