§ 7093. Domiciliary liquidators in other states
(a) The domiciliary liquidator of an insurer domiciled in a reciprocal state shall, except
as to special deposits and security on secured claims under subsection 7094(c) of this title, be vested by operation of law with the title to all of the assets, property, contracts,
and rights of action, agents’ balances, and all of the books, accounts, and other
records of the insurer located in this State. The date of vesting shall be 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
shall be the date of entry of the order directing possession to be taken. The domiciliary
liquidator shall have the immediate right to recover balances due from agents and
to obtain possession of the books, accounts, and other records of the insurer located
in this State. He or she also shall have the right to recover all other assets of
the insurer located in this State, subject to section 7094 of this title.
(b) If a domiciliary liquidator is appointed for an insurer not domiciled in a reciprocal
state, the Commissioner of this State 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,
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 7091 or 7092 of this title, or for an ancillary receivership under section 7094 of this title, or after approval by the Superior Court of Washington County may transfer title
to the domiciliary liquidator, as the interests of justice and the equitable distribution
of the assets require.
(c) Claimants residing in this State may file claims with the liquidator or ancillary
receiver, if any, in this State or with the domiciliary liquidator, if the domiciliary
law permits. The claims must be filed on or before the last date fixed for the filing
of claims in the domiciliary liquidation proceedings. (Added 1991, No. 45, § 2, eff. May 29, 1991.)
