The answer is Escheat.

Escheat is the government's right to property if it is not claimed for any reason after a certain period of time.

Explain law related to property- Escheat.

  • Escheat is a legal law that deals with what happens to property if it is not claimed. In this case it is withdrawn or returned to the government.
  • Escheat is the government's right to take or claim property when there is no clear owner. Death is common for estates that have no heirs, as well as dormant bank accounts, securities, etc. Someone doesn't have to die for a savings account balance to lapse.
  • A dying individual is not the same as being without an heir. When someone dies intestate or intestate, there are often heirs. Finding heirs through probate (usually children or close family members) prevents the property from being returned to the government.

How are countries in the European union linked
jeka57 [31]
The EU is a political and economic union of 28 countries, which developed an internal single market through a standardised system of laws. Politically, these 28 countries are linked by the European Parliament, the European Commission, the Council of Europe and the European Council (the last two have similar names, but they have different functionalities). Economically, by the ECB - the European Central Bank. Monetarily, by the Eurozone and the currency EURO, which is present in 19/28 countries. Also, there's a Schengen area, where passports are abolished and you can travel freely, BUT not all the countries that are in the EU, are in Schengen area (ex. Romania, Bulgaria); and vice-versa: Norway is not in the EU, but is part of the Schengen area.

I hope I helped, I used to have a "map" of interactions of all these countries in different unions/institutions, but cannot find it. If you need one to help you understand the EU better, tell me and I'll intensively look for it! 

Update: here's the map.
