As soon as practicable after taking possession, the department shall make an inventory of the assets and file a copy of the inventory with the superior court.

 (c) When the department has taken possession, there shall be a postponement, until six months after the commencement of that possession, of the date upon which any period of limitation fixed by a statute or agreement would otherwise expire on a claim or right of action of the bank, or upon which an appeal must be taken or a pleading or other document must be filed by the bank in any pending action or proceeding.
