In a Claim Opposing Forfeiture (Judicial Council Form MC-200), the claimed property (if cash) is written as $xx,xxx U.S. Currency. The People are the Plaintiff; You are the Real Party in Interest. Most jurisdictions require a Civil Case Cover Sheet. File the claim in Superior Court within 30 days of the seizure or your notice of it. A file- stamped copy of the Claim must be served on the DA within 30 days of filing, and a proof of service returned to the court.
It's a good idea to have the assistance of a lawyer or paralegal. The next step is a full blown civil action, when the DA files a Complaint, and you must file an Answer.
