Statute Text
Use or
transfer of estate property outside ordinary course of business; transfer of
co-owned property; limitation on disposition of residential property.
(1) Upon court order, a receiver
may use estate property outside the ordinary course of business.
(2) Upon court
order, a receiver may transfer estate property other than in the ordinary
course of business by sale, lease, license, exchange or other disposition.
Unless the transfer agreement provides otherwise, a transfer under this section
is free and clear of a lien of the person that obtained appointment of the
receiver, any subordinate liens and any right of redemption, but is subject to
any senior liens. A transfer under this section may occur by means other than a
public auction sale. On motion by any party or interested person, the court may
prescribe standards or procedures calculated to maximize the proceeds of the
transfer.
(3) If a lien on
estate property is extinguished by a transfer under this section, the lien
attaches to the proceeds of the transfer with the same validity, perfection and
priority that the extinguished lien had on the transferred property immediately
before the transfer, regardless of whether the proceeds are sufficient to
satisfy all obligations secured by the lien.
(4) A creditor
holding a valid lien on the property to be transferred may purchase the
property and offset against the purchase price all or part of the allowed
amount secured by the lien, if the creditor tenders sufficient funds to satisfy
the reasonable expenses of transfer and any obligation secured by any senior
lien extinguished by the transfer.
(5) A reversal or
modification of an order authorizing a transfer under this section does not
affect the validity of the transfer to a person that acquired the property in
good faith or revive against any person any lien extinguished by the transfer,
regardless of whether the transferee knew of the request for reversal or
modification before the transfer, unless the court stayed the order before the
transfer.
(6) If estate
property includes an interest as a co-owner of property, the receiver has all
rights and powers of a co-owner afforded by applicable law, including any
rights of partition.
(7) If at the
time of appointment of a receiver an owner holds an undivided interest in
property as a tenant in common, joint tenant or tenant by the entirety, the
receiver may sell both the interest that is estate property and the interest of
any co-owner upon court order if the court determines that:
(a) Partition in
kind of the property is impracticable;
(b) Sale of the
estates undivided interest in the property would realize significantly less
for the estate than sale of the property free and clear of the interests of the
co-owner; and
(c) The benefit
to the estate of the sale outweighs the detriment, if any, to the co-owner.
(8) A receiver
may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of residential property, or an
undivided interest therein, without specific judicial approval, which a court
may grant only in case of waste, destruction, obstruction of marketing of the
property, enforcement of an order in a domestic relations suit or other good
cause shown.
(9) As used in
this section, good faith means honesty in fact and the observance of
reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing. [2017 c.358 §25]
