(a) If the trustee does not comply with any such cease and desist order issued by the commissioner or if it appears to the commissioner that any such trustee is insolvent or likely to become insolvent, the commissioner may apply to the superior court for the judicial district of Hartford or the judicial district in which such trustee resides or conducts such business for an injunction restraining such trustee from continuing to receive property under mortgages or deeds of trust and restraining the trustee from administering any and all trusts then in force and effect, and for an order appointing some suitable person to succeed such person, firm or corporation as trustee of any trust property then in the trustee's possession or in or to which the trustee has any right, title, interest or claim, and for such other or further order as appears to the court necessary or desirable to protect and secure the interests of the beneficiaries of any such trust property. The court may issue such injunction or other order after reasonable notice to such trustee, provided, if such mortgage or deed of trust provides for a certain successor trustee and if such successor trustee is a suitable person to act in such capacity, the court may appoint such successor trustee to be the acting trustee.

(b) In the event of the death of any such trustee, if no successor trustee is provided for in any such mortgage or deed of trust, the commissioner may apply to the superior court for the judicial district of Hartford for an order appointing some suitable person to succeed such trustee.
