Full Text of § 1443
Plain-English Summary
The Probate Code sends unclaimed estate money and property to the state through several different sections, and this one makes sure they all land in the same procedural bucket. Whether the property comes in under Probate Code Section 7643, Section 11428, the Chapter 6 provisions beginning with Section 11900, Section 6800, or any other Probate Code section, including future amendments, it's deemed paid or delivered for deposit in the State Treasury under this article.
That single classification matters because it means the same downstream rules apply no matter which Probate Code hook brought the money in: the same transmission, accounting, and disposition procedures this title sets out govern all of it, rather than each Probate Code source spinning off its own separate handling.
