Did one of your relatives leave unclaimed money or property? Here's a governmental site that has links to the official unclaimed property offices in most states: www.unclaimed.org Many states have online searches for unclaimed property. Since these are government sites, there is no "finders fee" like many of the dubious commercial organizations. I found that money was due my deceased uncle in Florida, the site didn't give any indication of how much it was. Since the money would be split between my mother and two aunts (one now deceased) it might not be worth the effort to claim it if it was a small sum. I requested a claim form to see what documentation I need. If you have moved around, be sure to check your own name in the appropriate states.

Very true, I located a passbook savings account for a cousin. Darn, no big find for me, though. My cousin was pretty happy though, and went to reclaim her money!
