A retired teacher has been left shocked after getting a phone call informing her that she's inherited £28,000 from a family member she hasn't seen in 20 years.

Joan Williams, 82, received a call from Finders International - who feature on BBC show Heir Hunters - after her cousin Allan Reay, 74, died alone in a nursing home.

Allan, who died in 2022, had not made a will and had no known next of skin to inherit his estate, which was worth £28,000. This means Joan, who had not seen Allan in over 20 years, was a beneficiary of his estate and would be given the money.

Joan, who is originally from Marshe-by-the-Sea, North Yorks., but now lives in France, was left shocked at first but has decided to use the money to go on holiday.
