In re: 30 Galeana, Foothill Ranch, California 92610

In granting the petition, the court scheduled today’s hearing to resolve any and all claims to the surplus funds and ordered any person with a claim to some or all of the funds to file a claim at least 15 days before the hearing.

On or about July 22, 2026, Petitioner gave notice via U.S. Mail of today’s hearing to all parties identified in the petition as potentially having a claim to some or all of the surplus funds. (ROA 19.) The court clerk also sent notice to all parties identified in the petition. (ROA 17.)

As of August 26, 2026, the court has not received any claim to the surplus funds. Accordingly, the surplus funds shall stay on deposit with the clerk until such time as a claim to the funds is duly asserted, or until the funds escheat to the court. (Gov. Code, § 68084.1(a) [“Except as otherwise provided by law, any money, excluding restitution to victims, that has been deposited with a superior court, or that a superior court is holding in trust for the lawful owner, in a court bank account or in a court trust account in a county treasury, that remains unclaimed for three years shall become the property of the superior court if, after published notice pursuant to this section, the money is not claimed or no verified complaint is filed and served”]; Code Civ.

Proc. § 1502(a)(3) [“This chapter does not apply to any of the following: [¶] . . . [¶] (3) Any property in the official custody of a court if the property may be transferred to the Trial Court Operations Fund under Section 68084.1 of the Government Code”] Code Civ. Proc., § 1519 [“All tangible personal property located in this state, and, subject to Section 1510, all intangible personal property, held for the owner by any government or governmental subdivision or agency, that has remained unclaimed by the owner for more than three years escheats to this state”].)

Having received no claims to the surplus funds, the court hereby sets an order to show cause hearing as to why the surplus funds on deposit with the court should not escheat to the court. The order to show cause hearing is scheduled for Monday, September 17, 2029, at 9:30 a.m., in Department C23. The clerk is directed to serve notice of this ruling on all parties upon whom the clerk served notice of the Court’s July 16, 2026 ruling.

2. In re: 30 Galeana, Foothill Ranch, California 92610

Before the court is the hearing to consider the claims to the undistributed surplus proceeds of trustee’s sale regarding the sale of the property located at 30 Galeana, Foothill Ranch, California 92610 (Property). As more fully set forth below, the hearing on the claims is CONTINUED TO 2026-01550091 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2026, AT 2:00 P.M., IN DEPARTMENT C23, for petitioner California TD Specialists (Petitioner) to deposit the funds at issue with the court.

On February 19, 2026, Petitioner filed a petition under Civil Code section 2924j regarding unresolved claims and deposit of undistributed surplus proceeds of trustee’s sale for the Property. After paying off the trust deed for the Property and Petitioner’s fees and expenses, Petitioner sought to deposit the surplus funds of $143,391.14 with the court and be discharged from responsibility for the distribution of those funds because, after due diligence, Petitioner was unable to determine the priority of the written claims received to the surplus proceeds.

On July 10, 2026, the court granted Petitioner’s petition and ordered Petitioner to deposit all surplus funds relating to the trustee’s sale for the Property with the clerk of the court forthwith. There is no indication in the court’s files that Petitioner deposited the surplus funds as ordered. The court thus cannot grant any of the claims received at this time. (See Civ. Code § 2924j(d) [“Within 90 days after deposit with the clerk, the court shall consider all claims filed at least 15 days before the date on which the hearing is scheduled...”].) Indeed, the court does not currently have the funds to be distributed.

The court will therefore CONTINUE the hearing as set forth above and orders Petitioner to deposit all surplus funds relating to the trustee’s sale for the Property with the clerk of the court forthwith. TO BE CLEAR, PETITIONER IS NOT DISCHARGED FROM ITS OBLIGATIONS UNTIL THE FUNDS ARE DEPOSITED WITH THE COURT AND THEREFORE NO DISCHARGE HAS OCCURRED. REGARDLESS OF ANY DEPOSIT, PETITIONER’S COUNSEL IS ORDERED TO APPEAR AT THE CONTINUED HEARING TO ENSURE ALL FUNDS HAVE BEEN DEPOSITED. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE COURT’S ORDERS MAY RESULT IN SANCTIONS. The clerk of the court is directed to give notice of the foregoing hearing by first class mail to Petitioner and all claimants identified in attachment 8 to the petition and to all parties who have filed any claim or other document in this action.
