Unclaimed estates in South Yorkshire: Here is a list of unclaimed estates in Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley, Rotherham, Brompton, Darfield, Rossington and Deepcar which you can inherit if you have one of these surnames

Unclaimed estates are properties passed on by those who have died in the UK without leaving a will. The deceased’s estate and assets are then left unclaimed and the property is passed over to the Crown as ‘ownerless’ or ‘bona vacantia’.

The property can be anything from a building, money, or personal possession. Before this stage, the estates are generally put up online, where an entitled relative or relatives can reach out and claim these properties.

The people who are entitled to claim an unclaimed estate are:

- Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren etc

- Husband, civil partner or wife

- Mother or father

- Brothers or sisters who share both the same mother and father, or their children, nieces and nephews

- Grandparents

- Uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins or their descendants)

- Half brothers or sisters or their children (nieces and nephews of the half blood of their children) - ‘half’ means they share only one parent with the deceased

- Half uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins of the half blood or their children

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