Full Text of § 573
Plain-English Summary
Section 573 answers a bookkeeping question: once money gets deposited with the court under this chapter -- whether ordered under § 572 or otherwise -- where does it sit? The answer is the court's own treasury, administered under Government Code § 68084, the statute governing how California's trial courts hold money paid into court.
This section doesn't change who's entitled to the money or when a party gets it back; it only fixes the custodial mechanism. Before the state consolidated trial-court funding and administration, individual counties often handled these deposits through their own county treasuries or designated depositories. Section 573 ties the practice under this chapter to the unified system Government Code § 68084 now governs.
