Sec. 3-62d. Action to obtain decree of escheat. Whenever the Treasurer is of the
opinion that an escheat has occurred, or shall occur, of any money or other property
deposited in the custody of, or under the control of, any court of the United States, in
and for any district within the state, or in the custody of any depository, registry or clerk
or other officer of such court, or the Treasury of the United States, he may request that
the Attorney General cause a complaint to be filed in the superior court for the judicial
district of Hartford, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, to ascertain if any
escheat has occurred, and to cause said court to enter a judgment or decree of escheat
in favor of the state, with costs, disbursements and attorneys' fees. Notice of the filing
of any such action may be given to interested persons by publication of a notice to be
published at least once a week for two successive weeks in a newspaper of general
circulation in the county in which is located the last-known address of any such interested
person or, if unknown, in a newspaper of general circulation in the judicial district of
Hartford.
