what happens to unclaimed inheritance ?

[ascayman]

a vulgar subject i know.

But a year or so ago a relative of mine died and i susupect an amount of inhertience would have been left to my brother and i.

i wont go into the exact details but the family was somewhat spreadout and the said relative had complicated financial arrangments.

if indeed any heirlooms or inheritance were left to my brother and i would we have to rely on his probate solictor to find us or would we have to track the solicitor down ourselves and how would we go about that?

any advice would be welcome?

Whilst there are a number of online search tools to look for wills, they all require that someone put the will on there in the first place. No Guarantees.

Is there not a family member you could ask, just ask for the details of the lawyers who dealt with it?

Most Lawyers will make contact with beneficiaries directly, but this can sometimes prove difficult especially with ex pats or similar.

unfortunatly not, sad i know but the family has pretty much disbanded. there were only 5 people at the funeral my brother i and 3 others i didnt know.
