3903.53 Appointing ancillary receiver.

(A) If a domiciliary liquidator has been appointed for an insurer not domiciled in this state, the superintendent of insurance may file a complaint in the court of common pleas requesting appointment as ancillary receiver in this state if both of the following apply:

(1) There are sufficient assets of the insurer located in this state to justify the appointment of an ancillary receiver;

(2) The protection of creditors or policyholders in this state so requires.

(B) The court may issue an order appointing an ancillary receiver in whatever terms it shall consider appropriate. Persons dealing with the property of the insurer are charged with notice of the order appointing an ancillary receiver from the time when the judgment ordering the appointment is filed under Civil Rule 58, or a certified copy of the judgment is filed under Civil Rule 3(F), with the clerk of the court of common pleas of the county in which the property is located.

(C) When a domiciliary liquidator has been appointed in a reciprocal state, then the ancillary receiver appointed in this state may, whenever necessary, aid and assist the domiciliary liquidator in recovering assets of the insurer located in this state. 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. He shall promptly transfer all remaining assets, books, accounts, and records to the domiciliary liquidator. Subject to this section, the ancillary receiver and his deputies shall have the same powers and be subject to the same duties with respect to the administration of assets as a liquidator of an insurer domiciled in this state.

(D) When a domiciliary liquidator has been appointed in this state, ancillary receivers appointed in reciprocal states shall have, as to assets and books, accounts, and other records in their respective states, corresponding rights, duties, and powers to those provided in division (C) of this section for ancillary receivers appointed in this state.
