The right to file a claim under this chapter is personal to the claimant and does not survive the claimant's death, but the right may be exercised on behalf of a claimant by the claimant's legal guardian or attorney-in-fact. If a claimant dies after having filed a timely claim, the amount thereof must be disbursed to another member of the household as determined by the State Tax Assessor. [PL 1993, c. 395, §30 (AMD).] If the claimant was the only member of a household, the claim may be paid to the claimant's personal representative, but if one is not appointed within 2 years of the filing of the claim, the amount of the claim escheats to the State. [PL 1993, c. 395, §30 (AMD).]
