Michigan Compiled Laws, Chapter 490. Credit Unions § 490.242

Sec. 242. (1) Under the direction of the commissioner, a conservator appointed under this part shall take possession of the books, records, and assets of the domestic credit union and take any action necessary to conserve the assets of the domestic credit union pending liquidation under part 2  1 of this article or further disposition of its business as provided by law.

(2) While a conservator remains in possession of the domestic credit union under this part, the rights of all parties with respect to the domestic credit union, subject to the other provisions of this part with respect to conservators, are the same as if a receiver had been appointed under part 2 of this article.

(3) A conservator appointed under this part may execute the discharge of any real estate mortgage held as part of the assets of the domestic credit union.
