(a)In the event of receivership or liquidation, all claims made against a provider based on the provider’s continuing care contracts shall be preferred claims against all assets owned by the provider. However, these preferred claims shall be subject to any perfected claims secured by the provider’s assets.
(b)If the provider is liquidated, residents who have executed a refundable continuing care contract shall have a preferred claim to liquid assets held in the refund reserve pursuant to Section 1792.6. This preferred claim shall be superior to all other claims from residents without refundable contracts or other creditors. If this fund and any other available assets are not sufficient to fulfill the refund obligations, each resident shall be distributed a proportionate amount of the refund reserve funds determined by dividing the amount of each resident’s refund due by the total refunds due and multiplying that percentage by the total funds available.
(c)For purposes of computing the reserve required pursuant to Sections 1792.2 and 1793, the liens required under Section 1793.15 are not required to be deducted from the value of real or personal property.
