507C.13 Rehabilitation orders.

1. An order to rehabilitate the business of a domestic insurer or an alien insurer domiciled in this state shall appoint the commissioner as the rehabilitator. The order shall direct the rehabilitator to take possession of the assets of the insurer, and to administer them under the general supervision of the court. The filing or recording of the order with the clerk of the district court or recorder of deeds of the county in which the principal business of the insurer is conducted, or the county in which its principal office or place of business is located, is the same notice as a deed, bill of sale, or other evidence of title duly filed or recorded with that recorder of deeds. The order to rehabilitate the insurer shall vest title to all assets of the insurer in the rehabilitator.

2. An order issued under this section requires accounting to the court by the rehabilitator. Accountings shall be at intervals the court specifies in the order. Each accounting must include a report concerning the rehabilitator’s opinion as to whether a plan pursuant to section 507C.14, subsection 4, will be prepared. If the rehabilitator includes in any accounting that such a plan is likely, the accounting shall also include a proposed timetable for the preparation and implementation of the plan.

3. Entry of an order of rehabilitation is not an anticipatory breach of a contract of the insurer.
