KRS 304.33-510: Conservation of property of foreign or alien insurers found in this state.

(1) Grounds for petition. If a domiciliary liquidator has not been appointed, the

commissioner may apply to the Franklin Circuit Court by petition for an order

directing him or her to conserve the property of an alien insurer not domiciled in

this state or a foreign insurer on any one (1) or more of the following grounds:

(a) Any of the grounds in KRS 304.33-140;

(b) Any of the grounds in KRS 304.33-190;

(c) That any of its p roperty has been sequestered by official action in its

domiciliary state, or in any other state;

(d) That enough of its property has been sequestered in a foreign country to give

reasonable cause to fear that the insurer is or may become insolvent;

(e) That:

1. Its certificate of authority to do business in this state has been revoked or

that none was ever issued; and

2. There are residents of this state with outstanding claims or outstanding

policies.

(2) Terms of order. The court may issue the order in wh atever terms it deems

appropriate. The filing or recording of the order with any county clerk in this state

imparts the same notice as a deed, bill of sale or other evidence of title duly filed or

recorded with that county clerk.

(3) Transformation to liquidation or ancillary receivership. The conservator may at any

time petition for and the court may grant an order under KRS 304.33 -520 to

liquidate the assets of a foreign or alien insurer under conservation or, if

appropriate, for an order under KRS 304.33-540 to be appointed ancillary receiver.

(4) Order to return to insurer. The conservator may at any time petition the court for an

order terminating conservation of an insurer. If the court finds that the conservation

is no longer necessary, it shall order that the insurer be restored to possession of its

property and the control of its business. The court may also make such finding and

issue such order at any time upon its own motion.
