Sorry, unfortunately it is one of the rules of RootsChat not to name living people so you would have to remove his name.

https://www.rootschat.com/help/posting_guide.php

RootsChat is a forum for searching for ancestors. Anything posted on the internet is in the public domain where anybody can see this information. To protect people and their identities we do not encourage the posting of information about people who are or maybe still living.
Even with permission from the subject of a post we would seriously advise against giving too much information as to betray their identity.

Not a problem. People will still look and if they find anything, send you a personal message, rather than putting the info on here

Are his parents still living?

Something a bit odd if I have this correct?

Parents marriage...

Father is transcribed wrong (from what you have) on FreeBMD...

J O B*****d & M S MacDonald
Sep 1966
GATESHEAD 1A 2091

Mother looks to have remarried?

M S B*****d & C A C***
Dec 1977
GATESHEAD 2 138

Could your A J B be using the 2nd surname?

Can anyone tell you when he was last seen/spoken to in UK for a timeline of when he may have gone elsewhere?

That couple, (C***) are in the electoral rolls in Gateshead to 2012. (FindMyPast)


Looking at Zoopla, that address has not been on the market for a long time, so maybe one or other or both are still there?

Hello,

There are set procedures laid down in UK Law that every Administrator MUST follow when dealing with a deceased Estate, to avoid problems and trouble later.

If the relative entitled can't be found it may become an unclaimed Estate, where the government hold the Estate until a person Legally entitled shows up to claim later. Again, it will be set out in UK Law when this applies.

If above a certain value a deceased UK Estate will likely be Registered for Probate and they will usually tell you what or where to go next
https://www.probateforms.info/probate-registries/

The gov.uk website (the official website of the UK government) also has some useful general advice and links
https://www.gov.uk/browse/births-deaths-marriages/death

No Will
When there is no Will, there is a set 'pecking order' laid down in UK Inheritance Law as to the one who can inherit (after everything is settled).
https://www.gov.uk/inherits-someone-dies-without-will


An Administrator appointed or officially dealing with the deceased Estate have certain rights under several UK Acts to access information from UK records held by Government Departments, not normally available to us and the general public.

General
It is important to keep records and copies of all letters, sent / received and correspondence all filed and secure, relating to the settling up of a deceased person's Estate, to prepare a final Receipts and Payments Statement etc.

Mark
