The total amount of unclaimed money in California averages five billion dollars annually – imagine how much interest that earns for the state! Sacramento attorney Bill Palmer who has fought in a number of cases involving California unclaimed money, said the state’s program was intended to be a lost and found for California residents. Instead, it has been turned into a profit making ‘business’ in recent years.

The ban on the taking of property by California has now been lifted and the new CA State Controller, John Chiang, is making greater efforts in the form of widespread changes in improving how his office deals with California unclaimed property. There’s still a great need though for Californians and Americans in all states across the U.S. to learn about the presence of these monies and on how to perform a thorough search for them.
