I've seen sites that search state by state. Do a search for "unclaimed funds"

One place to look is at the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporations missing participant list.  The PBGC is a U.S. Government agency that protects pensions.  They have a search page for unclaimed pesions. Look on their web site: http://www.pbgc.gov

You should get the records of your assets like this:\n\nASSETS\n  Cash on Hand ------------------------------- $0.00\n  Accounts Receivable ------------------------ $0.00 \n  (anything that has not yet been collected)\n  Goods that have certain value -------------- $0.00\n      Total Current Assets --------------------------  $0.00\n\n  Property (Gross Investment) ---------------- $0.00\n  Equipment Accum Depreciation (car)------- (-)$0.00\n      Net Investment --------------------------------- $0.00\n                                                       _____\nTotal Assets ----------------------------------------- $0.00\n\nLIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDER EQUITY\n  Accounts Payable ------------------------ (-)$0.00\n  (Money that you need to pay "pronto")\n  Short-Term Loan Payable ----------------- (-)$0.00\n  (credit cards)\n  Current Portion of Long-Term Debt ------- (-)$0.00\n  (a sum of all principal payments om outstanding bonds)\n      Total Current Liabilities ---------------------- $0.00\n      (red numbers)\n\n   Long Term Bonds Outstanding ----------------------- $0.00\n                                                       _____\n       Total Liabilities ----------------------------- $0.00\n\n   Shareholder Equity \n   Common Stock ------------------------------ $0.00\n   Additional Shareholder Capital ------------ $0.00\n   Accumulated Retained Earnings ------------- $0.00\n\n       Total Shareholder Equity ---------------------- $0.00\n\n          Total Liabilities and Shareholder Equity --- $0.00\n           (This amount should be the same as Total Assets)

Your best resourse would be to try the state's Treasury Dept. web site. They have information on all unclaimed properties. I recently had a similar situation in PA. Sometimes if the state takes control of the property, they sell it and keep the money in a non-interest account until the person on the deed or the rightful heirs claim the monies.Good Luck! Each state is different.

You could call the bank it was issued from, give them the check number & account number, and ask them to "verify funds".

Based on the question you seem to be a pretty honest person, congrats on that one,  about the money you can keep it because there is no way to find out who the true owner is, and if you ask around every body would claim that they were the ones who lost the $20. I wish that you would have found a $20,000 instead of a $20, your honesty deserves it. God bless!

You might be able to find out some info on the computer, it's really going to depend on where you are and what exactly you want to find out. If you're looking for information about who owns the property, I'd suggest looking up your local tax assessor to see if they have a database. If they don't, you may be able to find out who they have listed as the owner by calling them. Yes, a title company search can tell you a lot about the property, but it may not be the information that you're looking for. Normally a title report (sometimes called a "commitment") will tell you about any open liens (mortgages, tax liens, unpaid contractors, etc.), easements, conditions and restrictions (for example, you can't have a fence more than 6' high in this neighborhood, that sort of thing). However, if you're looking for more of a history of the building (did any famous people live here, any exciting events, etc.), you'd probably want to check with the neighbors and/or the historical society. Hopefully this helps, Good luck!

If you have the actual physical address of the property, you could try the county recorder's office.  Just tell them you would like to know who pays taxes on that property.\n\nThis works where I live, hope it works for you too.

Go to the local Registrar of Deeds (or whatever your local public records office is called) and tell the person there that you would like to look up the information on such-and-such property.  He/she will show you how to use the card file or the computer to do the search.  You need to know either the owner's name or the Legal Description of the property.  If you don't know, the local Tax Collecting Department can give you that information.

You may need to contact an attorney to assist you get more information from the insurance company. You may be able to collect, but only through satisfaction of the deceased or beneficiary(ies) wills or local intestacy law. If the money have been paid by the Insurance Company to the State "Unclaimed Property" fund, the rightful person(s) may petition the state for the release of the fund.

Check with your treasurer's department for your state. But there is a statute of limitations and it could have been absorbed into the state as unclaimed.

Sometimes in open property records , an owner may have a picture on file . My sister found one of her home in the records dated 100 years ago . Besides a picture you can find out who owns it , how much they paid for it ,When they bought it .Call city hall in that state , ask for property information , then ask what is on file and if they can give you a web sight . Good Luck !

My first port of call would be contacting your bank. As banks are the one's who repossess, they should have a list. \n\nThere are a few companies who have their own lists - but you usually have to pay for this. \n\nGood luck.
