First American Title Company
Unclaimed Property

First American Title Company currently holds $22.5 million in unclaimed property distributed across 33,674 individual records in California. As one of the nation's largest title insurance companies, unclaimed funds typically originate from unused escrow deposits, overpayments on closing costs, cancelled transaction refunds, or uncashed settlement checks from real estate transactions.

First American Title Company is a major title insurance and escrow services provider that facilitates real estate transactions throughout California. Unclaimed property from title companies most commonly includes escrow overpayments, unused earnest money deposits, refunds from cancelled real estate transactions, uncashed commission checks to real estate agents, and surplus funds from foreclosure proceedings.

Many First American Title customers lose track of money when they move after closing without updating their address, when transactions fall through but refunds aren't collected, or when small overpayments from complex escrow calculations go unnoticed. The highest concentrations of claims are found in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego's largest real estate markets where First American Title processes thousands of transactions annually.

The company has operated in California for decades and has undergone various corporate restructurings and acquisitions, which sometimes means people don't recognize the exact corporate entity name listed as the holder of their unclaimed funds.

The average claim from First American Title Company is $668.
