(a) At any time after property has been paid or delivered to the administrator under this act another state may recover the property if:
(1) The property was subjected to custody by this state because the records of the holder did not reflect the last known address of the apparent owner when the property was presumed abandoned under this act, and the other state establishes that the last known address of the apparent owner or other person entitled to the property was in that state and under the laws of that state the property escheated to or was subject to a claim of abandonment by that state;
(2) the last known address of the apparent owner or other person entitled to the property, as reflected by the records of the holder, is in the other state and under the laws of that state the property has escheated to or become subject to a claim of abandonment by that state;
(3) the records of the holder were erroneous in that they did not accurately reflect the actual owner of the property and the last known address of the actual owner is in the other state and under the laws of that state the property escheated to or was subject to a claim of abandonment by that state;
(4) the property was subjected to custody by this state under subsection (f) of K.S.A. 58-3936 and amendments thereto and under the laws of the state of domicile of the holder the property has escheated to or become subject to a claim of abandonment by that state; or
(5) the property is the sum payable on a travelers check, money order or other similar instrument that was subjected to custody by this state under K.S.A. 58-3937 and amendments thereto, and the instrument was purchased in the other state, and under the laws of that state the property escheated to or became subject to a claim of abandonment by that state.
(b) The claim of another state to recover escheated or abandoned property shall be presented in a form prescribed by the administrator who shall decide the claim within 90 days after it is presented. The administrator shall allow the claim if the other state is determined to be entitled to the abandoned property under subsection (a).
