Creditors consenting to the assignment shall give the assignee written notice of consent within four months after publication of the notice required under section 44-1035, and a creditor not assenting shall not receive or take any benefit under the assignment. A creditor who has no actual notice of the assignment may make known his assent any time before any distribution of assets is made under the assignment. Receipt by a creditor of any portion of his claim from the assignee is conclusive evidence of the assent of such creditor to the assignment.
