DON'T use an unclaimed property internet site to look for your parents'
real estate. The ONLY source you should use is the Henderson County Register of Deeds or Tax Office (linked in earlier post).... if indeed the property is in Henderson County. Your best bet is to call or make a personal visit to the register of deeds office. And by all means, don't give someone your SS number if you don't know who they are, especially online.
If the Henderson County register of deeds (or tax office) doesn't have a record of your parents owning property, is there a possibility it could be in a neighboring county?
In any event, for your purpose, to search for real estate anywhere, local county government is the place to go.
