Unclaimed estates in Cumbria ......................??
« on: Friday 04 November 22 19:21 GMT (UK) »
On the off chance a relative may turn up on RootsChat or someone knows of a relative - When it comes to unclaimed estates before 1997, the Treasury will allow claims up to 30 years from the date of the person’s death, subject to no interest being paid on the money that is held - if the claim is received after the 12-year period has ended..................


There are 19 estates left unclaimed by people who were either born or died in Cumbria.

Hi

Are you aware of a website people can check for unclaimed estates in Ireland?

At least this might give me some chance.  Lol

I did note that some of those names appeared on a Lancs live list of 30 in January 2022, giving a few further details of dates of birth and death etc.,
