A dies intestate.

No surviving relatives under the laws of succession of A's jurisdiction are identified or found and A's estate escheats to
the jurisdiction.

Under the laws of succession of A's jurisdiction, B as the sole surviving blood relative (neice) at the time of the death of A ,qualifies for a claim against escheat, but is not aware of either the death of A or the escheat.

B dies and never files a claim against escheat.

Would the estate of B have a claim against escheat of A's estate since B was alive at the time of the death of A or would the law vary by jurisdiction?
