(a) An order to liquidate the business of a
domestic insurer must:
(1) Appoint the commissioner and his successors in office
liquidator.
(2) Direct the liquidator as soon as possible to take possession of
the assets of the insurer and to administer them under the general
supervision of the Marion County circuit court.
(b) The liquidator 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
and records of the insurer ordered liquidated, wherever located, as of
the entry of the final order of liquidation. The filing or recording of the
order with the clerk of the circuit court and the recorder of deeds of the
county in which its principal office or place or business is located, or
in the case of real estate with the recorder of deeds of the county where
the property is located, shall impart the same notice as a deed, bill of
sale, or other evidence of title duly filed or recorded with that recorder
of deeds would have imparted.
(c) Upon issuance of the order, the rights and liabilities of any
insurer and of its creditors, policyholders, shareholders, members and
all other persons interested in its estate become fixed as of the date of
entry of the order of liquidation, except as provided in sections 8 and
35 of this chapter.
(d) An order to liquidate the business of an alien insurer domiciled
in Indiana must be in the same terms and have the same legal effect as
an order to liquidate a domestic insurer, except that the assets and the
business in the United States shall be the only assets and business
included in the liquidation.
(e) At the time of petitioning for an order of liquidation, or at any
time after petitioning for an order of liquidation, the commissioner,
after making appropriate findings of an insurer's insolvency, may
petition the Marion County circuit court for a judicial declaration of
that insolvency. After providing for a notice and hearing as the Marion
County circuit court considers proper, the court may make the
declaration.
(f) An order issued under this section shall require accounting by
the liquidator to the Marion County circuit court. Accountings shall be
at intervals as the court specifies in its order.
