In Romford, there are currently 29 estates that have passed to the Crown as unclaimed property. These estates become 'ownerless' when someone dies without a will.
The government accepts claims for unclaimed estates up to 30 years after the person's death, but no interest will be paid if claims are made after 12 years.
Entitlement to an estate is determined in order of relations. Husband, wife, or civil partner have the first claim, followed by children and then other relatives.
The list of unclaimed estates is updated daily on the government's website, and individuals with specific surnames could potentially inherit the listed fortunes.
