(a)Except as provided in subsection (4), when the department has paid to each depositor and creditor of the mutual association whose claims have been approved and allowed as provided in this chapter the amount due on them or made satisfactory adjustment of them and has made provisions for unclaimed and unpaid deposits and disputed claims and deposits and has paid all the expenses of liquidation, it shall file a report of its administration of the trust with the clerk of the district court of the county in which the mutual association is located.
(b)If there are remaining assets on hand, the department may apply to the judge of the district court for an order authorizing it to surrender the remaining assets, together with all the stationery, correspondence, books, and records kept by the mutual association while it was a going concern, to the directors of the mutual association in office at the time of closing it, as trustees for members, or to some other person, if any, designated as trustee by a majority of the members. The report and petition must be set for hearing on notice that the court may direct.
(c)Upon hearing and approval of the report and account and the surrender of the assets as directed, the department is discharged from all further liability or responsibility in connection with the assets and affairs of the mutual association.
