Is there hidden treasure in your family tree?

In the UK in the event that a person dies intestate (without leaving a will) it is not always clear who should inherit the deceased's estate and assets. You could be an heir to the unclaimed estate of a relative you've lost touch with or never knew existed!

An heir search can be expensive and time consuming and professional heir hunters do not always take every case and even experts in probate genealogy do not always find the heir so lost heirs can sometimes remain lost.

Heir Hound is a free service that allows you to create surname alerts so in the event of the details of an unclaimed estate being released that match your alerts we'll send you an email message informing you that there's a potential unclaimed inheritance so you can contact an heir hunter or do an heir trace yourself so you don't have to wait for the heir hunters to contact you.

Heir Hunters

How it works:

  1. Each week when the Treasury publishes new unclaimed estates we add this information to our website.
  2. Our website then searches this list and checks if any your surname alerts match surnames on the list.
  3. If a match is found we send out an email message alerting you that there's the possibility of a potential unclaimed inheritance or you can opt to receive the whole list of that week's new estates.
Unclaimed estates and unclaimed inheritances may or may not have been researched already by heir hunters. If in doubt always seek professional advice.
