AS 06.26.730. Voluntary Liquidation.

(2) the trust company's plan adopted by its board for winding up its fiduciary operations in this state.

(c) The department may approve or disapprove the trust company's plan for winding up its fiduciary operations in this state based on the department's evaluation of whether the plan provides adequate protection for those persons and interests for whom the trust company acts as a fiduciary. The department's approval may be subject to any condition the department determines appropriate under the circumstances.

(d) During the implementation of a trust company's plan for winding up its fiduciary operations in this state, the department retains the authority to supervise the trust company and may conduct any examination relating to either the trust company or the plan for winding up that the department considers necessary or appropriate.

(e) If the department has reason to conclude that the trust company is not safely or expeditiously implementing the approved plan for winding up the trust company's fiduciary operations in this state, the department may

(1) begin revocation proceedings under AS 06.26.740 ;

(2) take possession of the trust company's trust business in this state in the same manner, with the same effect, and subject to the same rights accorded to the trust company under AS 06.26.750 .

(f) The department shall cancel the trust company's certificate of authority if the department approves the trust company's plan for winding up its fiduciary operations in this state and if all of the following conditions that apply to the trust company have been met:

(1) the trust company has completed its plan for winding up its fiduciary operations in this state consistent with any conditions that the department imposed on the plan under (c) of this section;

(2) the trust company has been relieved under all applicable laws of all duties as trustee, executor, administrator, registrar of stocks and bonds, or any other type of fiduciary position under court, private, or other appointment that the trust company had accepted;

(3) if the trust company has its principal place of business in this state, the trust company has, under all applicable laws, wound up its fiduciary operations in each of the other jurisdictions where the trust company solicited appointment or served as a fiduciary, or otherwise acted as a fiduciary;

(4) if the trust company has its principal place of business in this state and is not authorized to engage in activities other than acting as a fiduciary, the trust company is being liquidated under AS 06.26.760 - 06.26.800.

(g) Upon the department's canceling the trust company's certificate of authority, the trust company may not without obtaining a new certificate of authority act as a fiduciary in this state, or in any jurisdiction.
