(2) In the event that the plaintiff is survived by the defendant, the interest accruing on the deposit shall be paid over to the defendant only during the defendant's natural life. At the defendant's death the deposit shall descend to the heirs at law of the plaintiff as realty and shall be paid over to the plaintiff's heirs or legal representatives according to law or the lawful order of the circuit court.
