Chapter 3. Formal Proceedings
27-9-3-41. Settlement of Claims; Report of Unresolved Claims; Action of Court on Report

Sec. 41. (a) The liquidator shall review all claims duly filed in the liquidation and shall make further investigation as the liquidator considers necessary. The liquidator may compound, compromise, or in any other manner negotiate the amount for which claims will be recommended to the Marion County circuit court except where the liquidator is required by law to accept claims as settled by any person or organization, including any guaranty association or foreign guaranty association. Unresolved disputes shall be determined under section 37 of this chapter. As soon as practicable, the liquidator shall present to the Marion County circuit court a report of the claims against the insurer with the liquidator's recommendations. The report must include the name and address of each claimant and the amount of the claim finally recommended, if any. If the insurer has issued annuities or life insurance policies, the liquidator shall report the persons to whom, according to the records of the insurer, amounts are owed as cash surrender values or other investment value and the amounts owed.
(b) The Marion County circuit court may approve, disapprove, or modify the report on claims by the liquidator. Reports that are not modified by the court within a period of sixty (60) days following submission by the liquidator shall be treated by the liquidator as allowed claims, subject to later modification or to rulings made by the court under section 37 of this chapter. A claim under a policy of insurance may not be allowed for an amount in excess of the applicable policy limits.
