Sec. 186.218. DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY; SETTLING OF CLAIM. (a) In liquidating a state trust company, the receiver on order of the court entered with or without hearing may:
(1) sell all or part of the property of the state trust company;
(2) borrow money and pledge all or part of the assets of the state trust company to secure the debt created, except that the receiver may not be held personally liable to repay borrowed funds;
(3) compromise or compound a doubtful or uncollectible debt or claim owed by or owing to the state trust company; and
(4) enter another agreement on behalf of the state trust company that the receiver considers necessary or proper to the management, conservation, or liquidation of its assets.
(b) If the amount of a debt or claim owed by or owing to the state trust company or the value of an item of property of the trust company does not exceed $20,000, excluding interest, the receiver may compromise or compound the debt or claim or sell the property on terms the receiver considers to be in the best interest of the state trust company estate without obtaining the approval of the court.
(c) With the approval of the court, the receiver may sell or offer or agree to sell an asset of the state trust company, other than a fiduciary asset, to a depositor or creditor of the state trust company. Payment may be in whole or in part out of distributions payable to the purchasing creditor or depositor on account of an approved claim against the state trust company's estate. On application by the receiver, the court may designate one or more representatives to act for certain clients or creditors as a class in the purchase, holding, and management of assets purchased by the class under this section, and the receiver may with the approval of the court advance the expenses of the appointed representative against the security of the claims of the class.
