About Court Escrow Funds

What Are Court Escrow Funds?

CT01 escrow funds represent money held by third parties during real estate transactions that buyers or sellers never retrieved. This commonly happens when property deals fall through but earnest money deposits aren't returned, or when closing cost overages go uncollected.

People lose track of escrow funds during moves, divorces, or estate settlements when paperwork gets misplaced. Property buyers who relocate immediately after closing often miss refund notifications sent to old addresses.

The average unclaimed escrow claim in California is $422.01, though amounts range from small closing cost refunds to substantial earnest money deposits. You'll need photo ID and proof of the original transaction to claim these funds.
