Florida Statutes Title XL. Real and Personal Property § 717.1383. United States savings bond;  claim for bond

A person claiming a United States savings bond escheated to the state under s. 717.1382, or for the proceeds from such bond, may file a claim with the department.  The department may approve the claim if the person is able to provide sufficient proof of the validity of the person's claim.  Once a bond, or the proceeds from such bond, are remitted to a claimant, no action thereafter may be maintained by any other person against the department, the state, or any officer thereof, for or on account of such funds.  The person's sole remedy, if any, shall be against the claimant who received the bond or the proceeds from such bond.
