It is open to anyone to notify the Bona Vacantia Division (BVD) of the Government Legal Department (GLD) of an empty property if it is an asset of a dissolved company or a deceased person’s estate (where it is believed they died intestate and without known entitled relatives). Information and guidance on how to notify of a dissolved company asset or refer a deceased person’s estate can be found on their website www.gov.uk/bonavacantia
