Within thirty days, or another period of time designated by the department, of the sale, assignment or transfer of a trust account to a successor trustee pursuant to section 802.1A, 1 or of the appointment of a substituted fiduciary pursuant to section 804, 2 the successor trustee or substituted fiduciary shall provide notice to settlors of the account, or, if the settlor is deceased, to persons who are readily ascertainable as beneficiaries of the trust account by their receipt of statements of the account, and any co-fiduciary of the account, of whom the secretary has notice. With respect to trust accounts that have not been transferred, assigned or sold, the secretary as receiver shall provide the notice required in this section. The notice to such parties shall indicate that the account has been sold, assigned or transferred to the successor trustee or transferred to the substituted fiduciary. Such notice shall require such parties within thirty days of receipt of the notice to notify the receiver and the successor trustee or substituted fiduciary if there is any dispute as to the amount or identity of the funds, property or investments of the estate, and as to the fees, commissions, and expenses due either the institution before the secretary took possession or to the secretary as receiver since the taking of possession. If such parties do not notify the secretary as receiver and the successor trustee or substituted fiduciary of any dispute, no accounting in court shall be required, and the secretary and the institution in receivership shall be discharged and released in full from any further duty or liability with regard to such trust account.
