(a) After a petition for rehabilitation or liquidation has been filed, a transfer of the real property of the insurer made to a person acting in good faith is valid against the receiver if made for a present fair equivalent value, or, if not made for a present fair equivalent value, then to the extent of the present consideration actually paid, for which amount the transferee has a lien on the property transferred. The commencement of a proceeding in rehabilitation or liquidation is constructive notice upon the recording of a copy of the petition for, or order of, rehabilitation or liquidation with the recorder of deeds in the jurisdiction where the real property in question is located. The exercise by a court of the United States, or any state or jurisdiction, to authorize or effect a judicial sale of real property of the insurer in any county or borough in any state is not impaired by the pendency of a proceeding unless the copy is recorded in the county or borough before the consummation of the judicial sale.
