Bolt, not wanting to do qualifiers, forfeits (8)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
escheats
'forfeits' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'bolt not wanting to do qualifiers' is the wordplay.
'bolt' becomes 'escape' (I've seen this before).
'not wanting' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'to do' becomes 'ape' (both can mean to impersonate).
'qualifiers' becomes 'heats' (I've seen this in another clue).
'escape' with 'ape' removed is 'esc'.
'esc'+'heats'='ESCHEATS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for escheats that I've seen is " Confiscates".)
