§ 6:398 — Liquidation procedures involving trust assets

A.(1) The receiver, with the approval of the receivership court, has the authority to appoint a successor to all rights, obligations, assets, deposits, agreements, and trusts held by the closed bank as trustee, administrator, executor, guardian, agent, and all other fiduciary or representative capacities.
(2) The successor's duties and obligations commence upon appointment to the same extent binding upon the former bank and as though the successor has originally assumed such duties and obligations. Specifically, the successor shall succeed to and be entitled to administer all trusteeships, administrations, executorships, guardianships, agencies, and all other fiduciary or representative proceedings to which the closed bank is named or appointed by any other instrument, court order, or by operation of law.
B. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to impair the right of the grantor or beneficiaries of trust assets to secure the appointment of a substituted trustee or manager.
C. Within thirty days after appointment, the successor shall give written notice, insofar as practicable, to all interested parties named in the books and records of the bank or in trust documents held by it that such successor has been appointed in accordance with state law.
