There is more than $8 billion just sitting in the unclaimed property fund run by California.
Some of it could be yours.
The state controller requires that banks, insurers and other companies turn over customers’ property after three years of account inactivity.
It comes in the form of stock dividends, tax refunds, wages — even the contents of safe deposit boxes.
The controller’s office says more than 32 million individuals and businesses in its database have unclaimed property. (I plugged in my name and found an old $20 bank balance.)
To find out if you’re owed money, it’s as easy a Google search. Give it a go here.
