Absolutely. You can get this information for free if you are willing to look. Most state's have a site (usually through the comptroller). This site is charging a fee and they do search for you.

Frankly, I wouldn't use it.

Never used a net site, but once an "heir finder" company called me at work and told me I had some money sitting in Ohio from my birth father passing on 5 years earlier (I didn't know he had passed on). I asked how much and they told me $17,000! I was like "Woo Hoo"
!! I was 24 at the time. I then asked where it was and how do I come and get it? They then informed me that there was a 40% fee for finding me! They wouldn't tell me until I signed a contract, stating they could have 40% of any money they found waiting for me. They wanted almost half my money!!! I was like "hell no!!" So, I called my dad, he got me an atty in Toledo and he found my fathers will (public documents) It was still open since I hadn't been located. (adopted...different last name). Got that money plus a bunch more and 2 autos for an atty fee of about $2000. Much better than 40%!!!!!!!! Then they had the gall to call me back a few months later, after I had gotten all the money and gave me a sob story on how hard they looked for me, if it wasn't for them, I would have know nothing about the $$ (probably true there) and they were doing me a favor... Could I please send them some money...whatever I thought reasonable for their work. Geesh!! ( I didn't!!)

Don't pay them to do something you can do yourself!
I found this site for Ohio http://www4.state.oh.us/com/unfd/qry1.asp
if you are looking in another state look for the site for the Treasury dept. for that state it should have all the information you need.
I've done this a few times, my son recently got $200. that he didn't know about, they actually contacted him.

Good luck!
