Sec. 2407. (1) The conservator, under the direction of the commissioner, shall take possession of the books, records, and assets of the bank, and take any action necessary to conserve the assets of the bank pending further disposition of its business as provided by law. The conservator shall have all the rights, powers, and privileges of receivers of banks appointed under this act and shall be subject to the obligations and penalties to which receivers are subject which are not inconsistent with this act with respect to conservators.

(2) During the time that the conservator remains in possession of the bank, the rights of all parties with respect to the bank, subject to the other provisions of this act with respect to conservators, shall be the same as if a receiver had been appointed. The conservator may execute the discharge of any real estate mortgage held as part of the assets of the bank.
