The total dollar amount for these funds in CA averages $5 billion annually – just imagine the amount of interest this accrues for the state! Bill Palmer, an attorney in Sacramento who has battled in numerous cases involving California unclaimed money, has said that the state’s program was created to be a lost and found for California residents. Instead, it was turned into a profit generating ‘business’ in recent years.

The ban on the taking of property by California has since been removed and the new California State Controller, John Chiang, is making greater efforts in the form of widespread changes in improving how his office deals with CA unclaimed money. There’s still a great need though for Californians and residents of all other states across the U.S. to be informed about the presence of these properties and on how to do a thorough search for them and take back what belongs to them.
