Deputy Paul Le Claire wants the States to get the millions of pounds’ worth of assets left by those who have died without making a will.
He says that with States finances in such a precarious position with tax increases and spending cuts on the way, every effort should be made to find any money that might plug the gap.
His initial proposal, if accepted, will effectively allow more information to be made available as to the actual value of assets currently held in accounts on behalf of people who die intestate.
