(a) Dividends and deposits remaining in the hands of the state banking commissioner six (6) months after the order for final distribution shall be deposited with the state treasurer who shall hold the dividends in a separate account. The state banking commissioner may order the money to be paid to the persons entitled thereto upon satisfactory evidence of their right. In case of doubt he may apply to the court for an order directing the payment. He may apply any interest earned by the money toward defraying the expenses of distribution of the unclaimed deposits or dividends to the depositors and creditors entitled to receive it.

(b) Dividends remaining in the hands of any receiver other than the state banking commissioner or in any account established pursuant to this subsection and unclaimed for five (5) years after the order for final distribution shall escheat to the state as provided by law.
