FOI request (FOIR-745400307)

Estates referred to Treasury Solicitor

Requested Mon 01 September 2025
Responded Wed 03 September 2025

Please can you send me details of the estates your organisation has referred to the Treasury Solicitor at the Government Legal Department since 1st July 2025? This information is no longer available publicly on the Treasury Solicitor website.

We are a genealogy firm who specialise in locating heirs to unclaimed estates.

Ideally, I would like details of the name of the deceased, the date of death, the location of death, the date of birth and if known the location of birth.

The estates of deceased customers/residents are usually referred by email to BVEstates@governmentlegal.gov.uk or by mail to their address at BV Estates Team, Bona Vacantia Division, COO Group, Government Legal Department, 1 Ruskin Square, Croydon, CR0 2WF.
