The family names that could inherit a fortune from an unclaimed estate in Essex

The latest list of unclaimed estates has been published by the government, meaning residents of Essex could be able to claim an unknown fortune within the county. Government records updated on May 15, 2023, have revealed that there are more than 200 unclaimed estates belonging to people from Essex.

When someone dies without leaving a will, their assets are left unclaimed. The government monitors these estates in the hope that the lawful heirs will claim them.

If no claim is made to the Government then the money could make its way into the treasury’s coffers. You are able to identify if you are eligible to inherit an estate by checking if you share a last name with the deceased.
