Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 33, § 2153

Claim for property by person claiming to be owner

PL 2019, c. 498, §22 (NEW).

1. Claim for property. A person claiming to be the owner of property held under this Act by the administrator may file a claim for the property on a form prescribed by the administrator. The claimant must verify the claim as to its completeness and accuracy.

2. Waive; pay or deliver directly. The administrator may waive the requirement in subsection 1 and may pay or deliver property directly to a person if:

A. The person receiving the property or payment is shown to be the apparent owner included on a report filed under section 2091; and

B. The administrator reasonably believes the person is entitled to receive the property or payment.

If a claimant has an agreement pursuant to subchapter 13 with a professional investigator licensed under Title 32, chapter 89, the administrator shall deliver the payment or property to the professional investigator.
