507C.52 Domiciliary liquidators in other states.
1. Except as to special deposits and security on secured claims under section 507C.53, subsection 3, the domiciliary liquidator of an insurer domiciled in a reciprocal state shall be vested with the title to the assets, property, contracts, rights of action, agents’ balances, books, accounts, and other records of the insurer located in this state. The date of vesting is the date of the filing of the petition, if that date is specified by the domiciliary law for the vesting of property in the domiciliary state. Otherwise, the date of vesting is the date of entry of the order directing possession to be taken. The domiciliary liquidator may immediately recover balances due from agents and obtain possession of the books, accounts, and other records of the insurer located in this state. The domiciliary liquidator may also have the right to recover all other assets of the insurer located in this state, subject to section 507C.53.
2. If a domiciliary liquidator is appointed for an insurer not domiciled in a reciprocal state, the commissioner of this state shall be vested with the title to the property, contracts and rights of action, books, accounts and other records of the insurer located in this state, at the same time that the domiciliary liquidator is vested with title in the domicile. The commissioner of this state may petition for a conservation or liquidation order under section 507C.50 or 507C.51, or for an ancillary receivership under section 507C.53, or after approval by the court may transfer title to the domiciliary liquidator, as the interests of justice and the equitable distribution of the assets require.
3. Claimants residing in this state may file claims with the liquidator or ancillary receiver in this state or with the domiciliary liquidator, if the domiciliary law permits. The claims shall be filed on or before the last date fixed for the filing of claims in the domiciliary liquidation proceedings.
