Recovery of Unclaimed Assets 

I am a Registered Investigator enrolled with the California State Controller’s Office, Unclaimed Property Division. My goal is to connect Californians (or their heirs) with their unclaimed assets held by the State of California.

​

Banks, insurance companies, and other businesses are sometimes unable to deliver financial assets to their rightful owner. This may happen because the owner moved, misplaced or forgot relevant documents, or is unaware of inherited properties. After several years, these unclaimed assets are turned over to the State Controller's Office, where they remain in the Unclaimed Property Fund until claimed by the rightful owner or their heirs. There is no expiration date for claiming.

 

The most common unclaimed assets include dormant checking and savings accounts; uncashed checks; refunds; inheritances; and life insurance policies and annuities. Whatever the nature of the unclaimed property, a Registered Investigator strives to reunite the assets with their rightful owner.
