When someone in England or Wales dies without a will and without known relatives, their estate passes to the Crown. The Government Legal Department publishes a list of these unclaimed estates — the Bona Vacantia list. If you can prove you are a blood relative of someone on the list, you may be entitled to claim their estate.
Claims can be made up to 30 years after the date of death. FindMyLegacy is a free service that helps you search the list and understand your potential entitlement.
