§ 3B:22-31 — Payment of share to established claimant; State Treasurer released as to subsequent claimants; recovery by claimant from distributee

After the State Treasurer has made payment to any person or persons in accordance with the declaratory judgment, as provided in N.J.S. 3B:22-30, no recovery may be had against the State Treasurer by any other person who may thereafter establish in any court proceeding his contrary interest in the surplus or the property from the sale of which the surplus arose. However, any other person who may thereafter establish in any court proceeding his contrary interest therein shall, as to the portion of the surplus remaining in the State Treasurer's hands, be entitled to his proportionate share thereof and, in addition thereto, may bring an action at law against the persons to whom distribution has been made by the State Treasurer, to recover his proportionate share of that portion of the surplus so distributed by the State Treasurer.
