(a) When under this chapter an ancillary receiver is to be appointed in delinquency proceedings for an insurer not domiciled in this state, the court shall appoint the director as ancillary receiver. The director shall file a petition requesting the appointment on the grounds set out in AS 21.78.080,
(1) upon a finding that there are sufficient assets of the insurer located in this state to justify the appointment of an ancillary receiver; or
(2) if 10 or more persons resident in this state having claims against the insurer file a petition with the director requesting the appointment of the ancillary receiver.
(b) The domiciliary receiver for the purpose of liquidating an insurer domiciled in a reciprocal state shall be vested by operation of law with the title to all of the property, contracts, and rights of action, and all of the books and records of the insurer located in this state, and has the immediate right to recover balances due from local agents and to obtain possession of any books and records of the insurer found in this state. The domiciliary receiver shall also be entitled to recover the other assets of the insurer located in this state, except that upon the appointment of an ancillary receiver in this state, the ancillary receiver shall during the ancillary receivership proceedings have the sole right to recover the other assets. The ancillary receiver shall, as soon as practicable, liquidate from their respective securities those special deposit claims and secured claims that are proved and allowed in the ancillary proceedings in this state, and shall pay the necessary expenses of the proceedings. The ancillary receiver shall promptly transfer all remaining assets to the domiciliary receiver. Subject to these provisions, the ancillary receiver and deputies of the receiver shall have the same powers and be subject to the same duties with respect to the administration of the assets as a receiver of an insurer domiciled in this state.
(c) The domiciliary receiver of an insurer domiciled in a reciprocal state may sue in this state to recover assets of the insurer to which the domiciliary receiver may be entitled under the laws of this state.
