The problem does exist. Even if California is the runner-up state that keeps billions of dollars in unclaimed funds, and even if it is reported that average yearly repayments in this state has totaled one hundred million dollars, in fact that is just a small percentage of the whole volume of the unclaimed funds and unclaimed property of the citizens the Californian government keeps safeguarding. The respective unclaimed money laws in California instruct California banks, financial institutions and government agencies to do their best to find the owners of the funds that show signs of having been abandoned, anyway are officials too interested in finding owners?
Professional asset tracers would want a share for information on lost funds, they want a part of your money. But it is possible to find and claim the money yourself.
