§783 — Title 11 Bankruptcy | U.S. Code

Summary

The trustee can give out property that is not part of the estate, including customer payments required by subchapters III and IV. With notice and a hearing, the trustee may sell the clearing bank to a depository or consortium, merge it with a depository, transfer contracts as allowed under paragraphs (9) and (10) of section 11(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, or transfer assets and liabilities to a depository or to a bridge depository under section 11(n) (paragraphs (1), (3)(A), (5), (6), (9)–(13), and subparagraphs (A)–(H) and (K) of paragraph (4)). A bridge depository is treated as a clearing bank; references to the FDIC mean the appointing agency, and references to deposit insurance are omitted. Transfers of liabilities may be made ratably within a priority class.
