(1) shall keep in one (1) or more trust accounts (interest or noninterest bearing) all funds belonging to others that come into the possession of the licensee and are held by the licensee for more than twenty-four (24) hours after the funds become available for use by the licensee; and
(2) shall clearly identify any account containing those funds as a trust account.
The trust accounts shall contain all auction proceeds not yet disbursed and all other funds belonging to others.

Any interest earned shall be held for the beneficiary.
(c) Upon the death or termination of a licensee or the expiration or revocation of the licensee's license, the commission shall take custody of each trust account and may appoint a successor trustee to protect and distribute the proceeds of that account.
