William died without issue on the 16th of October 1695, when all his titles, except the barony of Raby, became extinct.
The barony of Raby passed to the 2nd earl's cousin, Thomas Wentworth (1672-1739), son and heir of Sir William Wentworth of Northgate Head, Wakefield.
The earl was one of the British representatives at the congress of Utrecht, and in 1715 he was impeached for his share in concluding this treaty, but the charges against him were not pressed to a conclusion.

Wentworth Castle, the westerly estate of the two, came about solely as a result of who became, or more importantly who did not become, the main benefactor of the other estate, Wentworth Woodhouse.
Thomas Wentworth, who was the next of kin, naturally expected to be the sole benefactor, however it was left to Thomas's cousin, the deceased Earl's nephew, Thomas Watson instead.
Even if Lord Raby had inherited his expected estate at Wentworth Woodhouse, he would not have become the 3rd Earl of Strafford however, as he was not the deceased Earl's son, but having now acquired an estate he was determined to gain a better title than just a plain old Lord.
