You could be entitled to a fortune through one of these unclaimed estates in Sutton.

There are currently 18 estates across the region which have passed to the Crown as ‘ownerless property'.

This happens when a person dies without leaving a will and there are no apparent family members to claim the inheritance.

Generally, you have 12 years to claim an estate from the date it was taken by the Crown.

Here are the names, places of death, marital statuses, and birthplaces of people with unclaimed estates in Sutton.

You might be entitled to part of a deceased relative’s estate—just type in your name below to see if you could be in for a surprise.

The government accepts claims for unclaimed estates from 1997 up to 30 years after the person has died. If you claim after 12 years, you won’t get any interest on the money.

The list of unclaimed estates is updated daily on the Government’s website.

If someone dies without a will, the estate goes to relatives in the order listed below:

  1. Husband, wife or civil partner
  2. Children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on
  3. Mother or father
  4. Brothers or sisters who share both the same mother and father, or their children (nieces and nephews)
  5. 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
  6. Grandparents
  7. Uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins or their descendants)
  8. Half-uncles and aunts or their children (first cousins of the half-blood or their children). ‘Half’ means they only share one grandparent with the deceased, not both.
  9. If you’re a first cousin of the person who passed away, you can only inherit if there are no closer relatives, like nieces or nephews, who have a higher priority to inherit.
