Michigan § 490.241 - Appointment of conservator; grounds; bond and security; qualifications; payment of administrative expenses.

If any of the grounds under section 232 authorizing the appointment of a receiver exist or if the commissioner considers it necessary in order to conserve the assets of a domestic credit union for the benefit of the members and depositors and other creditors of the domestic credit union, the commissioner may appoint a conservator for the domestic credit union and require of the conservator a bond and security as determined by the commissioner.

The commissioner may appoint as conservator an employee of the office of financial and insurance services or any other competent and disinterested person. The conservator shall reimburse the office of financial and insurance services out of the assets of the conservatorship for all sums expended by it in connection with the conservatorship as administrative expenses. The conservator shall pay all administrative expenses of the conservatorship out of the assets of the domestic credit union, upon the approval of the commissioner. The administrative expenses are a first charge on the assets of the domestic credit union and the conservator shall pay the administrative expenses in full before any final distribution or payment of dividends to creditors or members.
