My father passed away in 2004. It was just brought to my attention that he had a couple of accounts that had a couple hundred dollars in each of them. I am sure that this money has since been turned over to the state, which in this case that would be Massachusetts. Is there anyway of knowing if this is true, and how I could go about recovering that money, if that would even be possible?
