Section 6:883 - ConservatorA.(1) If the commissioner, as a result of an examination or from any report made to him, believes that the public interest may be served by the appointment of a conservator, and if he finds that any association is in an impaired condition; is engaging in practices which threaten to result in an impaired condition; or is in violation of an order or injunction which has become final in that the time to appeal has expired without appeal or a final order entered from which there can be no appeal, the commissioner may appoint a conservator for such association.(2) The commissioner may appoint either himself or any other person as the conservator. Upon appointment, the conservator shall apply to the district court for confirmation of his appointment.(3) The conservator shall have the power and authority provided in this Chapter and such other power and authority as may be expressed in the order of the court. The conservator shall endeavor promptly to remedy the situations complained of by the commissioner in his application for confirmation of the appointment.(4) Within six months after the date of the appointment, the association shall be returned to the board of directors thereof and thereafter shall be managed and operated as if no conservator had been appointed, a merger may be effected by the conservator with the approval of the commissioner, or the association shall be involuntarily liquidated. Upon application by the commissioner, the court may extend the period of the conservator an additional six months.(5) If the commissioner, his deputy, or examiner is appointed conservator, he shall receive no additional compensation, but if another person is appointed, the compensation of the conservator, as determined by the court, shall be paid by the association. A certified copy of the order of the court discharging such conservator and returning such association to the board of directors shall be sufficient evidence.B.(1) A conservator shall have all the rights, powers, and privileges possessed by the officers, board of directors, stockholders, and members of the association and shall be vested with the full and exclusive power of management and control of the association.(2) Upon confirmation of the conservator, title to all assets of the association shall vest in the conservator without the execution of any instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer, or endorsement. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the prescriptive period on all causes of action accruing to the conservator shall be extended six months from the date of the court order confirming the conservator's appointment.C. The conservator shall not retain special counsel or other experts, incur any expense other than normal operating expenses, or liquidate assets except in the ordinary course of operations.D. The directors and officers may remain in office and the employees may remain in their respective positions, but the conservator may remove any director, officer, or employee, provided the order of removal of a director or officer shall be approved in writing by the commissioner.E.(1) While the association is in the charge of a conservator, members or borrowers of the association shall continue to make payments to the association in accordance with the terms and conditions of their contracts, and the conservator, in his discretion, may permit members or depositors to withdraw their accounts from the association pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter or under and subject to such rules and regulations as the commissioner may prescribe.(2) The conservator shall have power to accept and issue shares and savings or demand accounts and additions to savings or demand accounts, but any amounts received by the conservator may be segregated if the commissioner shall so order in writing, and, if so ordered, the amounts shall not be subject to offset and shall not be used to liquidate any indebtedness of the association existing at the time the conservator was appointed or any subsequent indebtedness incurred for the purposes of liquidating the indebtedness of any association existing at the time the conservator was appointed.(3) All expenses of the association during conservatorship shall be paid by the association.Acts 1970, No. 234, §1.
