bona vacantia
Ownerless property which passes to the British Crown etc.
Bona vacantia is Latin, much like the Romanian language.
Be careful about using obsolete terms like 'escheat' - abolished by s. 45 of the UK Administration of Estates Act 1925 and replaced by bona vacantia.

dead hand control is a matter of wills and trusts -- the issue is to what extent a deceased person should be able to use his/her wealth to control the behavior of others, i.e., the beneficiaries of the will

actually, another term for 'dead hand control' is 'mortmain'. Further explanation: in the realm of trusts and wills, one significant issue deals with the policy question of for how long of a period should a property owner be allowed to control his/her assets after his/her death -- this is referred to as the dead hand control. For instance, can you devise your property to your great great great children? no, because there's a statutory limitation on that sort of power, called the Rule against perpetuities (which is a nightmare) codified both in the UK and in the US. This law controls the dead hand, i.e., the power of the testator to control his/her property for too long a period of time. Hope that explains it a bit :)

Escheated property
"Daca defunctul exheredeaza printr-o dispozitie testamentara pe toti succesorii sai, in conceptia statului mostenitor, statul nefiind rezervatar, ar fi si el indepartat de la mostenire, ajungandu-se in asa zisa situatie de **mana moarta**, adica de imposibilitate de transmitere a bunurilor pe cale succesorala..." http://www.preferatele.com/docs/drept/3/dreptul-statului-asu...
"If there are no legal heirs and heirs by will or if neither of the heirs has a right to inherit or all heirs have been deprived of their right of inheritance (...) or neither of the heirs have accepted the inheritance or all the heirs refused their inheritance and neither of them has indicated that the inheritance is waived for the benefit of another heir (...) the decedent's estate shall be deemed***escheat***.
http://www.russian-civil-code.com/PartIII/SectionV/Subsectio...
"Escheated property refers to anything of value belonging to an individual who dies leaving no will and having no heirs thereby becoming the property of the State."

Intr-adevar, asa cum spune Tom Thumb, termenul "escheat" a fost inlocuit in unele dintre tarile UK. Poate ca "bona vacantia" este totusi termenul pe care il cauti. Mai exista si varianta "unclaimed property/goods". Din cate am inteles, termenul "escheat" este totusi folosit, ba, mai mult, exista si o diferenta intre cei doi termeni:"This is the main difference between escheat and bona vacantia, as in the latter, a grant takes place automatically, with no need to 'complete' the transaction."

Erika Nagy, Esq.
: you are right, in this case it is about property that escheats to the state in absence of testamentary beneficiaries or rightful heirs, I went off on a tangent with a somewhat different issue becuase of the close concepts of 'dead hand' and 'mana moarta'
