Illinois Compiled Statutes 205 ILCS 620 Corporate Fiduciary Act. Section 6-4

    (205 ILCS 620/6-4) (from Ch. 17, par. 1556-4)

    Sec. 6-4. Judicial proceedings; examination.

    (a) Promptly after taking possession and control of a corporate fiduciary, the Commissioner shall file a copy of the notice posted upon the premises in the circuit court in the county in which the corporate fiduciary is located, which cause shall be entered as a court action upon the dockets of such court under the name and style of "In the matter of the possession and control of the Commissioner of Banks and Real Estate of ......" (inserting the name of such corporate fiduciary). If the Commissioner determines (which determination may be made at the time of, or at any time subsequent to, his taking possession and control of a corporate fiduciary) that no practical possibility exists to reorganize the corporate fiduciary after reasonable efforts have been made, the Commissioner, represented by the Attorney General shall also file a complaint, if he has not already done so under Section 58 of the Illinois Banking Act, as now or hereafter amended, for the appointment of a receiver or such other proceeding as is appropriate under the circumstances. The court where the cause is docketed shall be vested with jurisdiction to hear and determine all issues and matters pertaining to or connected with the Commissioner's possession and control of such corporate fiduciary as provided in this Act, and such further issues and matters pertaining to or connected with the Commissioner's possession and control as may be submitted to such court for its adjudication by the Commissioner.

    (b) The Commissioner, upon taking possession and control of a corporate fiduciary, may, and, if he has not previously done so, shall, immediately upon filing a complaint for dissolution, make an examination of the affairs of the corporate fiduciary or appoint a corporate fiduciary or other suitable person to make the examination as the Commissioner's agent. The examination shall be conducted in accordance with and pursuant to the authority granted under Section 5-2 of this Act, and the corporate fiduciary or other suitable person conducting the examination shall have and may exercise on behalf of the Commissioner all of the powers and authority granted to the Commissioner thereunder. The report of examination shall, to the extent reasonably possible, identify those governing instruments with specific instructions concerning the appointment of a successor fiduciary. A copy of the report shall be filed in any dissolution proceeding filed by the Commissioner. The reasonable fees and necessary expenses of the examining corporate fiduciary or other suitable person, as approved by the Commissioner or as recommended by the Commissioner and approved by the court if a dissolution proceeding has been filed, shall be borne by the subject corporate fiduciary and shall have the same priority for payment as the reasonable and necessary expenses of the Commissioner in conducting an examination.

    As soon as reasonably can be done, the Commissioner, if he deems it advisable, shall seek the advice and instruction of the court concerning the removal of the corporate fiduciary as to all of its fiduciary accounts and the appointment of a successor fiduciary (which may be the examining corporate fiduciary) to take over and administer all of the fiduciary accounts being administered by the trust department of the corporate fiduciary. The corporate fiduciary or other suitable person appointed to make the examination shall make a proper accounting, in the manner and scope as determined by the Commissioner to be practical and advisable under the circumstances, on behalf of the trust department of the corporate fiduciary and no guardian ad litem need be appointed to review the accounting.
