Chapter 3.1. Liquidation of Financial Institutions
28-1-3.1-5. Receiver; Appointment; Vesting of Title to All Assets and Right to Terminate Affairs of Institution; Liens or Claims Against Property

Sec. 5. (a) The department may appoint the receiver of the closed financial institution. Unless the receiver is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the department, upon acceptance of the appointment of a receiver, shall make immediate application to the receivership court for confirmation of the receiver. The receivership court shall approve the department's application if it finds that to do so would be in the public interest. The application may be acted on by the receivership court without any notice except that provided in section 4 of this chapter. The receiver shall give a bond the director considers appropriate. However, a federal deposit insurance agency shall not be required to post any bond. If the receiver is not a federal deposit insurance agency, the director may agree to reasonable compensation for the receiver.
(b) Upon appointment as receiver, title to all assets of the financial institution vest in the receiver without the execution of any instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer, or endorsement. If no other receiver is appointed as provided in this chapter, the department shall act as receiver and has all of the powers and duties of a receiver as provided in this chapter.
(c) Except as otherwise provided, the sole and exclusive right to liquidate and terminate the affairs of any financial institution is vested in the receiver appointed under this section, and except as otherwise provided by law, no other receiver, assignee, trustee, or liquidating agent shall be appointed by any court or any other person.
(d) After the department has taken possession of the business and property for any financial institution, no suit, action, or other proceeding at law or in equity shall be commenced or prosecuted against the financial institution upon any debt, obligation, claim, or demand.
(e) No person, firm, limited liability company, corporation, or other entity holding any of the property or credits of the financial institution shall have any lien or charge against the property or credits for any payment, advance, or clearance made after the department has taken possession. A lien shall not attach to any of the assets or property of the financial institution by reason of the entry of any judgment recovered against the institution after the department has taken possession of its business and property and while the possession continues.
(f) A receiver appointed to liquidate a corporate fiduciary must have sufficient experience in fiduciary matters.
