The total amount of unclaimed money in CA averages $5 billion annually – imagine how much interest this earns for the state! Sacramento attorney Bill Palmer who has represented many cases involving California unclaimed property, sad that the state’s department was supposed to be a lost and found for California residents. Instead, it was turned into a profit generating ‘business’ in recent years.

The hold on the taking of property by California has recently been removed and the new California State Controller, John Chiang, is making extra efforts in the form of sweeping reforms in improving how his office is handling CA unclaimed money. There’s still a great need though for Californians and residents of all other states across the U.S. to learn about the presence of these funds and on how to do a thorough search for them and take back what belongs to them.
