If at the time any order of distribution is made there is any contested claim still being litigated, a dividend shall be declared in its favor in all respects as though the same had been finally allowed, but the assignee shall be directed, in the order of distribution, to retain the same in his hands until the litigation shall be finally determined. When it is certified to the court by the clerk that litigation therein is finally determined, and that the time for appeal or proceedings in error therein has expired, or has been waived, the court shall make a further order determining the amount of such dividend to which such claimant is entitled, if any, and directing the assignee to pay such amount to such claimant and retain the balance of such dividend, if any, to be distributed in the same manner as other funds belonging to the estate.
