(2) If a putative holder pays or delivers property the administrator determined shall be paid or delivered to the administrator at any time after the putative holder files an action under Subsection (1)(a), the court shall continue the action as if the action had been filed originally as an action for a refund or return of property under Subsection (1)(b).
