Here in Belgium, if they absolutely cannot find any heirs, then your assets simply go to the state.

If they can find heirs, but they all refuse the inheritance (a rare occurrence but it can be a valid smart way of handling an inheritance if there’s negative net value), then it also goes to the state.
