(c) Within thirty days after a claim is allowed, the property or the net proceeds of a sale of the property shall be delivered or paid by the administrator to the claimant, together with any dividend, interest, or other increment to which the claimant is entitled under sections 523A-12 and 523A-13.
(d) A holder who pays the owner for property that has been delivered to the State and which, if claimed from the administrator by the owner would be subject to an increment under sections 523A-12 and 523A-13, may recover from the administrator the amount of the increment.
