§ 27468 Coroner Property Sale Rules

• •If someone dies and no family or friend claims their stuff within 90 days, the coroner can sell it.
• •The coroner must tell the public about the sale beforehand.
• •The money from the sale goes to the county, not to the coroner or anyone else.

A person passes away with no known family, and they had a watch and some jewelry on them.

If no one claims the watch and jewelry within 90 days, the coroner can sell them at a public auction. The money from selling these items will then go to the county.
