(2) When the property is sold in pursuance of subsection (1) of this section, the net proceeds of sale shall be paid into the Treasury to a deposit account and kept in such account for three months, unless the owner of the property sold claims the proceeds of sale and gives proof of his ownership of the property and pays the necessary expenses as provided in section 7 of this Act. (3) If no action is successfully made within the period specified in subsection (2) of this section, the net proceeds of sale shall be apportioned in accordance with section 12 of this Act.
