(a) If the Commissioner determines (which determination may be made at the time, or any time subsequent to his taking possession and control of a bank and its assets) that no practical possibility exists to reorganize the bank after reasonable efforts have been made and that it should be liquidated through receivership, he shall appoint a receiver and require of him such bond and security as the Commissioner deems proper, and the Commissioner, represented by the Attorney General, shall, if the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is not acting as receiver, file a complaint for the dissolution or winding up of the affairs of such bank in the circuit court of the county where such bank is located.
     (b) Unless the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is acting as receiver for the bank, the Commissioner, upon taking possession and control of a bank and its assets, may, and if he has not previously done so, shall, immediately upon filing a complaint for dissolution, make an examination of the affairs of the trust department of the bank or appoint a corporate fiduciary or other suitable person to make the examination as the Commissioner’s agent. The examination shall be conducted in accordance with and pursuant to the authority granted under § 5-2 of the Corporate Fiduciary Act, as now or hereafter amended, and the corporate fiduciary or other suitable person conducting the examination shall have and may exercise on behalf of the Commissioner all of the powers and authority granted to the Commissioner thereunder. The report of examination shall, to the extent reasonably possible, identify those governing instruments with specific instructions concerning the appointment of a successor fiduciary. A copy of the report shall be filed in any dissolution proceeding filed by the Commissioner. The reasonable fees and necessary expenses of the examining corporate fiduciary or other suitable person, as approved by the Commissioner or as recommended by the Commissioner and approved by the court if a dissolution proceeding has been filed, shall be borne by the subject state bank and shall have the same priority for payment as the reasonable and necessary expenses of the Commissioner in conducting an examination.
