If specific property which is subject to the provisions of sections 447.505, 447.520, 447.527, 447.530 and 447.535 is held for or owed or distributable to an owner whose last known address is in another state by a holder who is subject to the jurisdiction of that state, the specific property is not presumed abandoned in this state and subject to sections 447.500 to 447.595 if:
