Could you inherit a fortune? The unclaimed estates in Bolton have been released by the Treasury this July and one could be yours. When a person dies without leaving a will and there appear to be no family members, the estate passes to the Treasury as ownerless property, or ‘Bona Vacantia’. An estate can be anything from property to personal possessions and money.
In general, estates held on the Bona Vacantia list can be claimed within a 12-year deadline, from the date the estate was taken into possession of the Crown.
