Louisiana § RS 13:4101 - Mortgaged property in hands of receiver or liquidator

§ RS 13:4101. Mortgaged property in hands of receiver or liquidator

The appointment of a receiver or liquidator of a corporation shall not affect the right of a creditor to enforce by executory process a mortgage or security agreement importing a confession of judgment and affecting property owned by the corporation.  If the receiver or liquidator is appointed prior to the institution of executory proceedings and the notice of appointment is recorded in the mortgage office in the parish in which the property is located and written notice of the appointment is received by the holder of the obligation that is sought to be enforced by executory process, then the receiver or liquidator shall be made defendant in the executory process proceedings.  If the receiver or liquidator is not appointed prior to institution of executory proceedings or the notice of appointment is not recorded or if written notice of the appointment is not received by the creditor, then the receiver or liquidator need not be substituted as the defendant, and the seizure and sale of the encumbered property may be made in the same manner as if no receiver or liquidator had been appointed.
