§ 81-27-8. 111.
If the commissioner, or a duly appointed agent, doubts the validity of any claim, the commissioner or agent may reject the same and serve notice of such rejection upon the claimant, either personally or by registered mail, and an affidavit of the service of such notice shall be filed in the office of the chancery clerk in the pending action, and shall be conclusive evidence of such notice. Any action or suit upon rejected claim must be brought by the claimant against the commissioner or agent, in the chancery court of the county in which the state trust company is located within ninety (90) days after such service, or the same shall be barred. Objections to any claim not rejected by the commissioner, or the duly appointed agent, may be made by any person interested by filing such objection in the pending action and by serving a copy thereof on the commissioner, or duly appointed agent, and the commissioner, or duly appointed agent, after investigation, shall either allow such objection and reject the claim, or disallow the objection. If the objection is not allowed and the claim not rejected, the commissioner, or the duly appointed agent, shall file a notice to this effect in the pending action; and within ten (10) days thereafter, the person filing objection by motion in the pending action, a copy of which notice shall be served upon the person whose claim or deposit is objected to, and present to the court the question of the validity of the claim; and the questions of law and issues of fact shall thereupon be determined as in other civil actions.
