The date specified must be at least 90 days after the later of notice under subdivision (a)(1) or last publication under subdivision (a)(2). The court may extend the period for submitting the claim. Unless the court orders otherwise, a claim that is not submitted timely is not entitled to a distribution from the receivership.

(2) State the amount and basis of the claim.
(3) Identify any property securing the claim.
(4) Be signed by the creditor under penalty of perjury.
(5) Include a copy of any record on which the claim is based.
(d) An assignment by a creditor of a claim against the owner is effective against the receiver only if the assignee gives timely notice of the assignment to the receiver in a signed record.
(e) At any time before entry of an order approving a receiver’s final report, the receiver or any interested party may file with the court an objection to a claim of a creditor stating the basis for the objection. The court shall allow or disallow the claim according to the law of this state other than this article.
(f) If the court concludes that receivership property is likely to be insufficient to satisfy claims of each creditor holding a perfected lien on the property, the court may order both of the following:
(1) That the receiver need not give notice under subsection (a) of the appointment to all creditors of the owner, but only to such creditors as the court directs.
(2) That unsecured creditors need not submit claims under this section.

(1) A distribution of receivership property to a creditor holding a perfected lien on the property must be made in accordance with the creditor’s priority under the law of this state other than this article; and
(2) A distribution of receivership property to a creditor with an allowed unsecured claim must be made as the court directs according to the law of this state other than this article, pro rata as to the allowed amount.
