Who we are & What we can do for you
Unclaimed Property is generally defined as any financial asset that has been left inactive by the owner for a period of time specified in the law, generally three (3) years. The California Unclaimed Property Law does NOT include real estate. Unused gift certificates are also generally excluded from unclaimed property and are not sent to the State as unclaimed property.
Mr. Palmer is admitted to the United States Supreme Court and appeared in Mission Ins. Co. v. Allstate, 517 U.S. 706 (1996). The case ultimately settled for full value owed to the policyholders and claimants.
Mr. Palmer routinely asserts the right of businesses and citizens against the state and federal governments. For example, Mr. Palmer litigates mandamus actions and requests government records of recalcitrant government officials and state agencies under both California Public Records Act (CPRA), Cal. Gov. Code §§ 6250, et seq., and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. §§ 552, et seq.
