(a) A contract between a trust bank or innovation bank in receivership and another person for bailment, of deposit for hire, or for the lease of a safe, vault or safe deposit box terminates on the date specified for removal of property in the notices that were published and mailed in accordance with section 36a-225 or a later date approved by the receiver or the Superior Court. A person who has paid rental or storage charges for a period extending beyond the date designated for removal of property has a claim against such bank's estate for a refund of the unearned amount paid. (b) If the property is not removed by the date the contract terminates, the receiver shall inventory the property. In making the inventory, the receiver may open a safe, vault or safe deposit box, or any package, parcel, or receptacle in the custody or possession of the receiver. The property shall be marked to identify, to the extent possible, its owner or the person who left it with the bank. After all property belonging to others that is in the receiver's custody and control has been inventoried, the receiver shall compile a list that is divided for each office of the bank that received property that remains unclaimed. The receiver shall publish, in a newspaper of general circulation in each town in which the bank had an office that received property that remains unclaimed, the list and the names of the owners of the property as shown in the bank's records. The published notice shall specify a procedure for claiming the property unless the court, on application of the receiver, approves an alternate procedure.
