Updated government list reveals Stratford-on-Avon estates which have not yet been claimed after owners died

MILLIONS of pounds goes unclaimed each year after people die without leaving their money to anyone.

Who knows, perhaps Great Uncle Fred, who no-one has heard from for years, left a country mansion and a pile of cash and is just waiting for you to make a claim.

As a government list updated last week revealed, there are currently more than 6,000 unclaimed estates, with at least 66 of them having a Warwickshire connection. The Herald has identified six that mention Stratford district (see box).
