Unclaimed estates in East Riding of Yorkshire: Here is a list of unclaimed estates in Beverley, Goole, Driffield, Hedon, Kilnwick and Lowthorpe which you can inherit if you have one of these surnames

In the UK, if a person dies without leaving a will, it can often be unclear as to who should inherit their estate and assets. The deceased may have passed away with no known next of kin which means that their property may be lost.

It is customary in that case for the deceased’s unclaimed estate and assets being passed over to the Crown as ‘ownerless’ or ‘bona vacatia’. The property can either be a building, money, or personal possessions and before it is listed as an ‘unclaimed estate’ by The Treasury, the estate is usually put up online where an entitled relative or relatives can come forward and claim the property.

Those eligible to claim an unclaimed estate are as follows:

- Husband, wife or civil partner

- Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and so on

- 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)

- Cousins can claim estate if there is no one above them in the order of relatives
