17 possession or appointment of a receiver shall not preclude a
18 mortgagee otherwise entitled to possession from making such a
19 request at any future time. The appointment of a receiver shall
20 not preclude a mortgagee from thereafter seeking to exercise
21 such mortgagee's right to be placed in possession.
22     (b) Designation of Receivers. Whenever a receiver is to be
23 appointed, the mortgagee shall be entitled to designate the
24 receiver. If the mortgagee is a bank or trust, then the

 

 

HB6113 Engrossed - 20 - LRB096 16773 ASK 32073 b

1 mortgagee may only designate a foreclosed home receiver that is
2 licensed under the Foreclosed Home Receiver License Act. If the
3 mortgagor or any other party to the foreclosure objects to any
4 such designation or designations and shows good cause, or the
5 court disapproves the designee, then the mortgagee in such
6 instance shall be entitled to make another designation.
7     (c) Rights of Mortgagee Having Priority. If a mortgagee
8 having priority objects to the proposed possession by a
9 subordinate mortgagee or by a receiver designated by the
10 subordinate mortgagee, upon entry of a finding in accordance
11 with subsection (d) of Section 15-1702 the court shall instead
12 place that objecting mortgagee in possession or, if a receiver
13 is to be designated in accordance with subsection (b) of
14 Section 15-1702, allow the designation of the receiver to be
15 made by that objecting mortgagee.
16     (d) Removal of Mortgagee in Possession. A mortgagee placed
17 in possession shall not be removed from possession, and no
18 receiver or other mortgagee shall be placed in possession
19 except upon (i) the mortgagee's misconduct, death, legal
20 disability or other inability to act, (ii) appointment of a
21 receiver in accordance with subsection (a) of Section 15-1704
22 or (iii) a showing of good cause by a mortgagee having
23 priority. A receiver shall not be removed solely on account of
24 being designated by a mortgagee later determined not to have
25 priority.
26     (e) Determination of Priority. If the court is required to

 

 

HB6113 Engrossed - 21 - LRB096 16773 ASK 32073 b

1 determine priority for the purposes of subsection (c) of
2 Section 15-1702, a new determination shall be made each time a
3 mortgagee is to be placed in possession or a receiver is to be
4 appointed and shall be an interim determination which shall not
5 preclude the court from making a contrary determination later
6 in the foreclosure. If the court subsequently shall make such a
7 contrary determination, a mortgagee in possession or acting
8 receiver shall not be removed except in accordance with Part 17
9 of this Article.
10     (f) Rights to Crops. With respect to any crops growing or
11 to be grown on the mortgaged real estate, the rights of a
12 holder of any obligation secured by a collateral assignment of
13 beneficial interest in a land trust, the rights of a mortgagee
14 in possession, or the rights of a receiver, including rights by
15 virtue of an equitable lien, shall be subject to a security
16 interest properly perfected pursuant to Article 9 of the
17 Uniform Commercial Code, where the holder of a collateral
18 assignment, mortgagee in possession, or receiver becomes
19 entitled to crops by obtaining possession on or after the
20 effective date of this Amendatory Act of 1988.
