HRS §431:6-312

Time limit for selling property an insurer owns

An insurance company must sell real property it gets through certain deals within three years. The insurance commissioner can give more time if the company shows a forced sale would hurt it. If the company keeps the property too long without permission, it cannot count it as an asset.

The statute, as written — Time limit for disposal

(a) Real property acquired by an insurer pursuant to section 431:6-311(e)(1) shall be disposed of within three years after it has ceased being necessary for the use of the insurer in the transaction of its business. Real property acquired by an insurer pursuant to such loans, mortgages, liens, judgments, or other debts, or pursuant to paragraphs (2), (3), (4), and (5) of section 431:6-311(e) shall be disposed of within three years after date of acquisition. The time for any such disposal shall be extended by the commissioner for a definite additional period or periods upon application and reasonable showing that forced sale of the property would be against the best interests of the insurer. (b) Any such real property held by the insurer without the commissioner's consent beyond the time permitted for its disposal shall not be carried or allowed as an asset.
