creditors.
1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, a receiver shall give notice of
appointment of the receiver to creditors of the owner by:
a. Deposit for delivery through first-class mail or other commercially reasonable
delivery method to the last-known address of each creditor; and
b. Publication as directed by the court.
2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, the notice required under subsection 1
must specify the date by which each creditor holding a claim against the owner which
arose before appointment of the receiver must submit the claim to the receiver. The
date specified must be at least ninety days after the later of notice under subdivision a
of subsection 1 or last publication under subdivision b of subsection 1. 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.
3. A claim submitted by a creditor under this section must:
a. State the name and address of the creditor;
b. State the amount and basis of the claim;
c. Identify any property securing the claim;
d. Be signed by the creditor under penalty of perjury; and
e. Include a copy of any record on which the claim is based.
4. 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.
5. At any time before entry of an order approving a receiver's final report, the receiver
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 any other provision
of law.
6. If the court concludes receivership property is likely to be insufficient to satisfy claims
of each creditor holding a perfected lien on the property, the court may order that:
a. The receiver need not give notice under subsection 1 of the appointment to all
creditors of the owner, but only such creditors as the court directs; and
b. Unsecured creditors need not submit claims under this section.
7. Subject to section 32-10.1-20:
a. 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 any other
provision of law; and
b. A distribution of receivership property to a creditor with an allowed unsecured
claim must be made as the court directs according to any other provision of law.
