Unclaimed estates list

A list of unclaimed estates held by the Treasury Solicitor. Last updated 18th September 2026.

The Bona Vacantia Division (BVD) publishes a list of unclaimed estates which have been referred to it but not yet claimed within the time limit for doing so.

The list

Unclaimed estates list (CSV, 341 KB)

The list is published in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file format. This acts like a spreadsheet and although it can be opened in any text editor it is best viewed in a spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel, Google Docs or OpenOffice Calc.

If you cannot find your relative on the BVD list, which is updated regularly, then it is likely that BVD is not dealing with their estate.  There are other sources of information which may assist:

If your relative is on the BVD list, then refer to the Make a claim to a deceased person’s estate section of this website
