Section 221.56 - Ancillary formal proceedings(a) If a domiciliary liquidator has been appointed for an insurer not domiciled in this Commonwealth, the commissioner may file a petition with the Commonwealth Court requesting appointment as ancillary receiver in this Commonwealth: (1) if he finds that there are sufficient assets of the insurer located in this Commonwealth to justify the appointment of an ancillary receiver; or(2) if the protection of creditors or policyholders in this Commonwealth so requires.(b) The court may issue an order appointing an ancillary receiver in whatever terms it shall deem appropriate. The filing or recording of the order with the recorder of deeds of Dauphin County shall impart the same notice as a deed, bill of sale or other evidence of title duly filed or recorded with that recorder of deeds would have imparted.(c) When a domiciliary liquidator has been appointed in a reciprocal state, then the ancillary receiver appointed in this Commonwealth under subsection (a) shall have the sole right to recover all the assets of the insurer in this Commonwealth not already recovered by the domiciliary liquidator. 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 Commonwealth, 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 Commonwealth.(d) When a domiciliary liquidator has been appointed in this Commonwealth, 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 subsection (c) for ancillary receivers appointed in this Commonwealth.1921, May 17, P.L. 789, art.
