You might be eligible for a substantial inheritance from one of Croydon’s unclaimed estates.
Croydon has seen 54 estates revert to the Crown as ‘bona vacantia’, meaning the property had no owner.
This occurs when someone dies without a will and no immediate relatives are available to inherit the estate.
Typically, claims for estates listed can be made up to 12 years after the Crown has assumed control of the estate.
The government updates and shares the list of these unclaimed estates daily on its website.
