The Estates Group within the Bona Vacantia Division of the Treasury Solicitor deals with persons who die without leaving a will or any entitled kin. If the deceased's last permanent address was in England & Wales, excluding the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster then the Treasury Solicitor is the Crown's nominee for dealing with the estate. The Treasury Solicitor's webpage
has a link to the list of Unclaimed Bona Vacantia Estates in England and Wales; this will take you straight to the information you may require and includes any information about cases referred by the County Council.
