No, you cannot make an equitable or moral claim against the estate because the Deceased has next of kin who are legally entitled to inherit. An estate only becomes bona vacantia when the Deceased has no living beneficiary and no valid will naming beneficiary.

What happens if beneficiary does not claim the estate

The property and moneys still legally belong to the entitled beneficiary.

What you can do instead

If you believe you deserve something from the estate:

Option 1: Get legal advice and speak to a lawyer about your situation. They can explain if you have any legal options.

Option 2: Contact the entitled beneficiary and try to speak directly with him / her.

Important notes

No guarantee of success: Even in true bona vacantia cases, equitable or moral claims are not guaranteed to succeed.

Legal costs: Making any legal claim involves costs. Consider this carefully before proceeding.
