Unclaimed estates across Chorley and Leyland could hold inheritances for local families

The latest probate notices, published under the Trustee Act 1925, reveal details of people whose estates are currently in administration.

These notices give creditors, beneficiaries, or anyone with a potential interest in an estate the opportunity to come forward before assets are distributed.

In some cases, relatives may be unaware they are entitled to a share of an estate, particularly where the deceased person had few known family members or where contact was lost over the years.

Each notice sets a specific deadline for claims to be made, after which the estate will be finalised based only on the information provided to solicitors.

Below is a list of the most recent notices issued, including key details and contact information for anyone who believes they may have a claim.
