MILLIONS of pounds of unclaimed inheritanc­e is just waiting to be claimed from the government - and it could be owed to you.

Records published by the Treasury have revealed that there are 66 unclaimed estates with links to Greater Manchester that could be worth some serious cash.

When people die without making a will, they leave behind everything they owned, whether that’s money, property, businesses or cars.

This becomes known as the person’s ‘estate’ and they can range in value from very little to potentiall­y millions.

But if nobody comes forward to claim it then the money could disappear into the government’s accounts.

The details on the value of the estates isn’t published.

The latest release published by the Treasury Solicitor shows that there are 66 people with unclaimed assets with links our region.

Once you have establishe­d if you are able to make a claim all you need to do send a family tree that shows how you are related to the person whose estate you are trying to claim.

It’s at this point you might have to prove you are related. But it could all be worth it.

Here are the people who have died, their date and place of birth and date of death.

If you recognise their name it might be worth doing a bit of online detective work to see if you are entitled to claim their estate.
