The commissioner may appoint as conservator 1 of the employees of the financial institutions bureau or some other competent and disinterested person. The financial institutions bureau shall be reimbursed out of the assets of the conservatorship for actual expenses incurred in connection with the conservatorship. The amount reimbursed shall be paid into the revolving fund provided for in subsection (4). The expenses shall be a first charge upon the assets of the licensee or registrant and shall be fully paid before any final distribution or payment of dividends is made to creditors or shareholders.\n\nThe conservator, under the direction of the commissioner, shall take sole control of all the affairs of the licensee or registrant and the possession of the books and records of the licensee or registrant. The licensee or registrant may transfer or assign the rights to service secondary mortgage loans to a person approved by the commissioner. The conservator of the licensee or registrant shall take such action as may be necessary to assure that the secondary mortgage loans are serviced as required by this act and the servicing contracts.\n\nIf the commissioner is satisfied that termination of the conservatorship may be done safely and is in the public interest, the commissioner may terminate the conservatorship and permit the licensee or registrant to resume the servicing of secondary mortgage loans subject to any terms, conditions, and limitations as prescribed by the commissioner.\n\nAll compensation and expenses required to be reimbursed to the financial institutions bureau in connection with a conservatorship and all expenses for state supervision of conservatorship under this act shall be deposited in the state treasury and shall be directed to a financial institutions bureau revolving fund. Money in the fund and any interest earned shall only be disbursed on proper vouchers, approved by the commissioner, to reimburse the financial institutions bureau for expenses incurred by the bureau in connection with conservatorships of licensees or registrants.","path":["MI Code","Chapter 493","Act Act-125-of-1981"],"source_url":"https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-493-62a","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:31Z","sha256":"4a141f36c171c209550c8b3c76a2190e8a24c21aa035dc33b18b032c925857f4","source_id":"us-mi","stale":false,"prev":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-493.62","next":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-493.63"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
