Yes – state governments hold money from deceased estates, share dividends, wages, trust money and many other situations where funds become lost.  If you want to find bank accounts in your name, or you’re looking for money from a relative’s lost bank account or deceased estate, you should also approach the government in the state in which you or your relative lived at the time.  Search for ‘public trustee’ or ‘state trustee’ for the relevant state to find contact details of who may be able to assist you.
