What is escheatment?

Historically, under feudal law when a land tenant died without heirs the land would escheat back to the lord. Today when a person dies with no heirs their property escheats to the state. If a legitimate heir comes forward later with proof of their relationship they can claim the property. The state has no interest in taking property from rightful heirs.
