We start the interview with a very interesting statistic based on our research, “Did you know in Somerset there are nearly 200 unclaimed estates”. Danny Curran star of BBC1 show Heir Hunters and M.D. of Finders International spoke with Claire Carter of BBC Radio Somerset to discuss unclaimed estates in Somerset. These estates could be or have been marked as intestate, belonging to people who have died apparently with no Will. These ownerless properties or what is phrased in the industry as Bona Vacantia could pass to the crown if no claims are made. Family members and heirs have just 12 years to claim an estate once it has been reported unclaimed to the Crown.
