About Lake Arrowhead

Unclaimed Property in Lake Arrowhead

Lake Arrowhead's substantial unclaimed property holdings reflect the area's unique mix of seasonal residents and vacation property owners who often lose track of accounts during relocations or address changes. The high concentration of insurance-related claims, particularly the $17,100 from Interinsurance Exchange of the Automobile Club, stems from the mountain community's reliance on specialized property insurance that residents may forget about after moving down the mountain.

Fidelity National Title Company holds $6,400 in unclaimed funds, typical for a resort area with frequent property transactions where escrow refunds and title insurance refunds go unclaimed. Many of these lost funds originate from the Rimforest and Cedar Glen areas where seasonal residents maintain PO boxes that get abandoned, and from the numerous small businesses around Lake Arrowhead Village that have changed hands or closed over the years, leaving employee paychecks and vendor payments unclaimed.

Is there a deadline to claim unclaimed property in Lake Arrowhead?
