§ 27-9-4-7 — Claims by residents in proceeding in other states or in ancillary proceedings in Indiana

(a) In a liquidation proceeding in a reciprocal
state against an insurer domiciled in that state, claimants against the
insurer who reside within Indiana may file claims either with the
ancillary receiver, if any, in Indiana, or with the domiciliary liquidator.
Claims must be filed on or before the last dates fixed for the filing of
claims in the domiciliary liquidation proceeding.
(b) Claims belonging to claimants residing in Indiana may be
proved either in the domiciliary state under the law of that state, or in
ancillary proceedings, if any, in Indiana. If a claimant elects to prove
his claim in Indiana, he shall file his claim with the liquidator in the
manner provided in IC 27-9-3-33 and IC 27-9-3-34. The ancillary
receiver shall make his recommendation to the court as under IC 27-9-3-41. He shall also arrange a date for hearing if necessary under
IC 27-9-3-37 and shall give notice to the liquidator in the domiciliary
state, either by certified mail or by personal service at least forty (40)
days prior to the date set for hearing. If the domiciliary liquidator,
within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice, gives notice in
writing to the ancillary receiver and to the claimant, either by certified
mail or by personal service, of his intention to contest the claim, he
may appear or be represented in any proceeding in Indiana involving
the adjudication of the claim.
(c) The final allowance of the claim by the courts of Indiana shall be
accepted as conclusive as to amount and as to priority against special
deposits or other security located in Indiana.
