After the required notice has been given, a hearing shall be scheduled by the Court of Chancery at which all claimants may present evidence in support of their respective claims. If the Court finds that the conditions for escheat have been met, the Court shall issue an order that the decedent's property escheated to the State as of the date of death. If the Court finds that the conditions for escheat have not been met, the State's petition shall be dismissed and the decedent's property shall be disposed of as otherwise provided by law.
