A. File an action against the administrator in the Superior Court of Kennebec County challenging the administrator's determination of liability and seeking a declaration that the determination is unenforceable, in whole or in part; or
B. Pay the amount or deliver the property determined by the administrator to be paid or delivered to the administrator and, not later than 6 months after payment or delivery, file an action against the administrator in the Superior Court of Kennebec County for a refund of all or part of the amount paid or return of all or part of the property delivered.

If a putative holder pays or delivers property that the administrator determined must be paid or delivered to the administrator at any time after the putative holder files an action under subsection 1, paragraph A, the court shall continue the action as if it had been filed originally as an action for a refund or return of property under subsection 1, paragraph B.
