Are you looking for lost money? Believe it or not, you could be one of millions of Californians who is owed money by the State.
The California State Controller's Office acquires hundreds of millions of assets through California's unclaimed property laws. And they maintain a database of unclaimed property here:
www.claimit.ca.gov or here

When administering a California decedent's estatate, we routinely check this database to make sure the heirs receive everything they're entitled to. If you have questions about how to file a claim on behalf of a decedent, call us at the office (805) 494-4569.
