How solicitors can donate unclaimed client accounts to WWF-UK 

Where the rightful owner cannot be traced you may donate the unclaimed client funds to WWF-UK. 

Bank transfer 

Please contact business@wwf.org.uk to arrange a bank transfer. 

Transferring amounts over £500 

Amounts over £500 can also be paid to WWF-UK provided the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) grants permission. To obtain permission please contact the Professional Ethics Guidance Team at the SRA:

Subject to confirmation that you have obtained the necessary SRA approval, we will email you acknowledgment of receipt, and provide a signed letter for your records.
