(1) FILING CLAIMS. In a liquidation proceeding in a reciprocal state against an insurer domiciled
in that state, claimants against the insurer who reside within this
state may file claims either with the ancillary receiver, if any, in
this state, or with the domiciliary liquidator. Claims must be
filed on or before the last dates fixed for the filing of claims in the
domiciliary liquidation proceeding.
(2) PROVING CLAIMS. Claims belonging to claimants residing
in this state may be proved either in the domiciliary state under
the law of that state or in ancillary proceedings, if any, in this
state. If a claimant elects to prove his or her claim in this state, the
claimant shall file the claim with the court in the manner provided in ss. 645.61 and 645.62. The ancillary receiver shall make
his or her recommendation to the court as under s. 645.71. The
ancillary receiver also shall arrange a date for hearing if necessary under s. 645.65 and shall give notice to the liquidator in the
domiciliary state, either by registered mail or by personal service
at least 40 days prior to the date set for hearing. If the domiciliary
liquidator, within 30 days after the giving of such notice, gives
notice in writing to the ancillary receiver and to the claimant, either by registered mail or by personal service, of his or her intention to contest the claim, the domiciliary liquidator shall be entitled to appear or to be represented in any proceeding in this state
involving the adjudication of the claim. The final allowance of
the claim by the courts of this state shall be accepted as conclusive as to amount and as to priority against special deposits or
other security located in this state.
