Ask me anything about California unclaimed property — how claiming works, what the State requires, what we charge, or whether a name turns up anything. I can run the real search.
I am not a lawyer and cannot say who is legally entitled to an inheritance. Our fee is capped at ten per cent by state law and nothing is owed until you have been paid.
