Do you know any good lawyers that can help claim abandoned property

You don't need a lawyer. I have done this for myself, my family and for foreigners who don't speak or read English. It is not hard. The forms are available on the State Controller's website. Just google "California unclaimed property," and follow the instructions. It takes about 6 months. The office is very detail oriented. Follow the instructions very carefully and completely. Don't leave out anything the forms and instructions ask for. If they send your application back, you will start a whole new 6 month wait. If you appreciate this free advice, please remember to refer me to any friends or acquaintances who need a lawyer. Referrals are still our best source of new business. Do you have a revocable living trust to protect your heirs against probate? Probate takes forever, is expensive, and is annoying. Do your family a favor. Set up a trust, and put all your property, especially any real property, into the trust. Since it is revocable, you can change it, add to it, take property out of it, or even cancel it completely, at any time. We set up such trusts, provide a pour-over will as a back-up for any property that does not make it into the trust, provide you with blank durable powers of attorney for health care and financial decisions, in case you become incapable of making such decisions while still alive, and convey one piece of real property to the trust, usually the family home, for $1500.00. If you would like to hire me to do this, let me know, and I'll send you a list of the information I need. Dana Sack
