This form is for making general enquiries about unclaimed estates or lost assets.
OR for referring new intestate estates that you are aware of where someone has died without a will, and no known next of kin. A bounty commission can be paid for valuable estates where we can handle the research and probate for such estates. Nursing and care homes, sheltered accommodation, neighbours and friends of the recently deceased are typical sources of such leads.
If you have been approached by a probate researcher over an estate to which you or family members may be entitled, please make sure they are a member of the Federation of Probate and Asset Researchers (FPAR).
If you think you are an entitled relative to one of the unclaimed estates listed – or know someone who might be – please do NOT use this form; instead use the form on the applicable estate page, which will direct your enquiry to our specialist research teams.
