Disposition of unclaimed assets. If a personal representative cannot make payment or delivery of property in the personal representative’s possession to the distributee entitled thereto within 30 days after the date of entry of the judgment of distribution, either because the distributee refuses to accept the property or because the distributee cannot be found, the personal representative shall file a motion, with notice to the State Treasurer of the opportunity to object, to request that the court direct the personal representative to sell or liquidate the property and pay or deliver the property to the State Treasurer, in the manner provided in ORS 116.205, to be placed in the escheat funds of the state. The personal representative shall take the receipt of the State Treasurer stating from whom the property was received, a description of the property and the name of the person entitled to the property.
