Bona Vacantia Estates

In cases where a deceased person has no known next of kin or no will and no surviving relatives the estate will be classed as Bona Vacantia (Vacant goods). It will be added to a public list for 30 years until the estate ultimately passes to the Crown. If you are a solicitor in need of assistance, professional heir-hunters at IWC, can help. We can trace lost relatives of the deceased to find the rightful heirs of the unclaimed estate.

If you`ve Been Contacted by another Heir Hunter

Don`t let your excitement get the better of you. Some will force you to sign a contract giving away anything up to 30% of your inheritance. They also use scare tactics, `the government will take the money if it is not claimed.` The real fact is, it is the Crown that takes the money but they do not keep it unless 30 years have passed. The chances are the person has only recently passed away. So there is no reason to be rushed. After all, theywill have found details of this so called lost relative on a publicly accessible government website.

Do not act in haste, a little research may save you thousands; we can probably handle your claim for a much lower fee; call us free on 0800 612 6105 to find out more.
