What Are Court Settlements?
This property type covers money from legal settlements that never reached the intended recipients. Examples include class action lawsuit payouts where you moved before receiving your check, or personal injury settlements where paperwork got lost during a hospital stay.
Court settlements often go unclaimed because people move frequently during legal proceedings, or they're dealing with major life disruptions like medical issues or family changes. Many recipients are adults who experienced significant life events that made them lose track of pending payments.
The average unclaimed court settlement in California is $143.75, though amounts vary widely from small class action payments to substantial personal settlements. You'll need government-issued ID and proof of your involvement in the original legal case to claim these funds.
