Thousands of £s of Unclaimed 'Funds in Court' monies Northern Ireland

butterflymum

Thought it worthwhile posting the following, given the large amounts of money lying as yet unclaimed. Hopefully it will help someone retrieve what is rightfully theirs.

. Unclaimed balances The CFO holds a number of accounts that are classified as unclaimed in accordance with rule 55 of the Court Funds Rules (Northern Ireland) 1979. These accounts relate to funds in court where no transactions, other than the credit of annual interest, have been processed for the specified number of years. Before an account is classified as unclaimed the CFO makes all reasonable efforts to facilitate the transfer of the funds to their beneficial owner. To reduce the risk of current and future cases being classified as unclaimed, CFO maintains contact with the guardians and controllers of those with funds in court throughout the life of the case. Included within the unclaimed balances disclosed in note 11, there are two categories of funds. These are:
1) those cases for which the details are known, but the beneficiary of the funds in court has not been able to be traced -
2) those cases for which the details are unknown


Total unclaimed funds at the year ended March 2015 are: 


Monies on deposit of £748,923  Equities valued at £11,933
