Bona Vacantia has lists of people who died without leaving a will.

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

Do you mean heir hunters for strangers ie. no connection to yourself?

If so and they are recent deaths, they are not generally on registered sites until several years later.
