Section 720 Of Chapter 8. Voluntary Liquidation From California Financial Code >> Division 1. >> Chapter 8.
720
. Any licensee that voluntarily has ceased to do the business
for which it is licensed shall immediately notify the commissioner
and proceed to liquidate its affairs. Any share or deposit or other
sum that has not been paid to the person entitled thereto within six
months after the licensee ceased to conduct a business shall be paid
into the State Treasury. The deposits with the State Treasury shall
be deemed to have been received under the provisions of Chapter 7
(commencing with Section 1500) of Title 10 of Part 3 of the Code of
Civil Procedure and shall be subject to claim or other disposition as
provided in that chapter. If the commissioner has reason to conclude
that the liquidation of the licensee is not being safely or
expeditiously conducted, he or she may take possession of the
business and property of the licensee in the same manner and with the
same effect and subject to the same rights accorded the licensee as
if he or she had taken possession pursuant to Chapter 7 (commencing
with Section 600), and he or she may proceed to liquidate the
licensee's affairs in the same manner as provided in that article.
When the licensee has been completely liquidated, its corporate
existence shall be dissolved in the manner provided by law.
