Section 734.240 - Conduct of delinquency proceedings for foreign insurers(1) Whenever under this chapter an ancillary receiver is to be appointed in delinquency proceedings for an insurer not domiciled in this state, the court shall appoint the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services as ancillary receiver. The director shall file a petition requesting the appointment: (a) If the director finds that there are sufficient assets of such insurer located in this state to justify the appointment of an ancillary receiver; or(b) If 10 or more persons resident in this state having claims against such insurer file a petition with the director requesting the appointment of such ancillary receiver.(2) The domiciliary receiver of an insurer domiciled in a reciprocal state, shall be vested by operation of law with the title to all the property, contracts and rights of action, and all the books and records of the insurer located in this state, and the domiciliary receiver shall have the immediate right to recover balances due from local insurance producers and to obtain possession of any books and records of the insurer found in this state. The domiciliary receiver shall also be entitled to recover the other assets of the insurer located in this state except that upon the appointment of an ancillary receiver in this state, the ancillary receiver shall during the ancillary receivership proceedings have the sole right to recover such other assets. The ancillary receiver shall, as soon as practicable, liquidate from their respective securities those special deposit claims and secured claims which are proved and allowed in the ancillary proceedings in this state, and shall pay the necessary expenses of the proceedings. All remaining assets the ancillary receiver shall promptly transfer to the domiciliary receiver. Subject to the provisions of this section the ancillary receiver and the deputies of the ancillary receiver shall have the same powers and be subject to the same duties with respect to the administration of such assets, as a receiver of an insurer domiciled in this state.
