According to recent data from the Treasury, there are currently 316 unclaimed estates in south east London, spanning boroughs such as Bexley, Bromley, and Greenwich.
The south east London borough with the highest number of unclaimed estates is Southwark, with a total of 128. Lewisham follows with 108 unclaimed estates.
Unclaimed estates arise when a person dies without leaving a will and no apparent relatives come forward to claim the inheritance, leading to estates being held for future claims.
The Treasury allows claims up to 30 years from the date of death for unclaimed estates predating 1997, provided the claim is made before the 12-year deadline.
