(b) In determining the percentage of distributions to be paid on these claims, the liquidator may consider the estimated value of the insurer's property, including estimated reinsurance recoverables in connection with the insurer's estimated liabilities for unpaid losses and loss expenses and for incurred but not reported losses and loss expenses, and the estimated value of the insurer's liabilities, including estimated liabilities for unpaid losses and loss expenses and for incurred but not reported losses and loss expenses.

(c) Distribution of property in kind may be made at valuations set by agreement between the liquidator and the creditor and approved by the receivership court.

(2) payments under the policy commenced before the entry of the liquidation order;  and

(3) future or past indemnity or medical payments are due under the policy.

(e) Claim payments made under Subsection (d) may continue until the date that a guaranty association assumes responsibility for claim payments under the policy.
