Do You Have Unclaimed Funds with Our Office?
Our office has thousands of dollars in unclaimed money waiting to be returned to its rightful owners. Could some of it belong to you?

We encourage you to check our list of unclaimed funds to see whether your name or your company's name is on it. The unclaimed funds are for court-related activities, including cash bonds, outstanding juror checks and more.
Guardianship Improvement Task Force Holds First Meeting
Legal shied that reads: Guardianship Improvement Task Force - Public Meeting
The statewide Guardianship Improvement Task Force held its first meeting last month. We're proud that Anthony Palmieri, our office’s Deputy Inspector General & Chief Guardianship Investigator, is part of this important initiative.

Anthony serves as the vice chair of the task force, which is sponsored and staffed by the Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers association.
Face Coverings Required at all Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller Offices
Face coverings are required to enter any Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller office. Face coverings are required regardless of a person’s vaccination status. This is consistent with protocols issued by Palm Beach County and the 15th Judicial Circuit for employees and visitors to County-owned buildings and courthouses. It is also consistent with updated guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
