20-624. Conduct of delinquency proceedings against domestic and alien insurers
A. When under this article a receiver is to be appointed in delinquency proceedings for a domestic or alien insurer, the court shall appoint the director of insurance as receiver. The court shall order the receiver to take immediate possession of the assets of the insurer and to administer them under the orders of the court.
B. As domiciliary receiver, the director shall be vested by operation of law with the title to all of the property, contracts and rights of action and all of the books and records of the insurer, wherever located, as of the date of entry of the order directing him to rehabilitate or liquidate a domestic insurer or to liquidate the United States branch of an alien insurer domiciled in this state, and he shall have the right to recover the assets and reduce them to possession, except that ancillary receivers in reciprocal states shall have, as to assets located in their respective states, the rights and powers which are prescribed in this article for ancillary receivers appointed in this state as to assets located in this state.
C. The recording of a certified copy of the order directing possession to be taken in the office of the county recorder of the county where the proceedings are pending shall impart the same notice as would be imparted by a deed, a bill of sale or any other evidence of title duly recorded or filed.
D. The director as domiciliary receiver shall be responsible for the proper administration of all assets coming into his possession or control. The court may at any time require a bond from him or his deputies if deemed desirable for the protection of the assets.
E. Upon taking possession of the assets of an insurer, the domiciliary receiver shall, subject to the direction of the court, immediately proceed to conduct the business of the insurer or to take such steps as are authorized by this article for the purpose of rehabilitating, liquidating or conserving the affairs or assets of the insurer.
