When the commissioner, or duly appointed agent, shall take possession of any state trust company under Section 81-27-8.101 or Section 81-27-8.102, the commissioner or agent shall within forty-eight (48) hours, file with the chancery clerk of the county where the state trust company is located, a notice of such action which shall state the reason therefor, and such notice shall be deemed the equivalent of a summons and complaint against the state trust company in an action in the chancery court except that it shall not be necessary to make service thereof. The taking possession of any state trust company shall be effective on the date when such authority was exercised and from and after such time all assets and property of such state trust company, of whatever nature, shall be deemed to be in possession of the commissioner, and the exercise of such authority shall operate as a bar to any attachment, or other legal proceeding against the state trust company or its assets. After the commissioner's exercise of authority, no lien shall be acquired, in any manner binding or affecting any of the assets of the state trust company and every transfer or assignment made thereafter by the state trust company, or by its authority, of the whole or any part of its assets, shall be null and void; and the commissioner, shall be substituted in place of the state trust company in all actions in the state or federal courts, pending at the time of the exercise of such authority.
