ANNOTATION
The assignee after filing his bond, etc., as required by this section thereupon becomes an officer of the court. Flint v. Powell, 10 Colo. App. 66, 50 P. 45 (1897).
When the assignee does not file the inventory he is not an assignee and the deed to him is void. Kinney v. Yoelin Bros. Mercantile Co., 76 Colo. 136, 230 P. 127 (1924).
The assignee then becomes a mere agent with authority to sell, and his possession and acts are the possession and acts of his principal. Kinney v. Yoelin Bros. Mercantile Co., 76 Colo. 136, 230 P. 127 (1924).
Nonetheless, assignment is act of bankruptcy though assignee does not qualify. The fact that an assignee never qualified under the assignment or gave a bond as required by this section does not prevent the general assignment from being an act of bankruptcy. Moore v. Yampa Mercantile Co., 287 F. 629 (8th Cir. 1923).
