The State Treasurer shall execute all documents necessary to complete the transfer of title.(d) Securities listed on an established stock exchange shall be sold at the prevailing prices on the exchange. Other securities may be sold over the counter at prevailing prices or by another commercially reasonable method. All securities presumed abandoned under the act and delivered to the State Treasurer shall be held for at least three years before he or she sells them. A person making a claim under this section is entitled to receive either the securities delivered to the State Treasurer by the holder, if they still remain in the hands of the State Treasurer, or the proceeds received from the sale, but no person has any claim under this section against the state, the holder, any transfer agent, any registrar, or any other person acting for or on behalf of a holder for any appreciation in the value of the property occurring after delivery by the holder to the State Treasurer.
