Peterborough residents could be entitled to a fortune through these unclaimed estates.
Government records updated this month have revealed there are 20 in the local area.
When someone dies without leaving a will, their assets are left unclaimed, but the government monitors these estates in the hope that the lawful heirs will claim them.
You could be eligible to inherit an estate by checking if you share a last name with the deceased, with relatives having 12 years to apply to claim in the interest of money or 30 years without interest, from the day of death.
If no claim is made, the money could make its way into the government’s accounts.
