32-2192. Subrogation of rights; collection A. Before receiving payment from the fund, a claimant must complete and execute, as judgment creditor, an assignment of judgment lien and notice of subrogation and assignment of rights to the claimant's judgment on a form provided by the department. B. If the commissioner has paid from the real estate recovery fund any sum to the judgment creditor, the commissioner shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the judgment creditor and the judgment creditor shall assign all the right, title and interest in the judgment to the commissioner. The commissioner may record the assignment of judgment lien and notice of subrogation and assignment of rights. Any amount and interest so recovered by the commissioner on the judgment shall be deposited to the fund. C. If the commissioner is subrogated to a claimant's rights as judgment creditor, the claimant shall not file a full or partial satisfaction of judgment without the commissioner's prior written consent. D. The attorney general shall bring any actions to recover amounts paid from the fund including interest, attorney fees and costs of collection pursuant to this chapter in the name of this state in the superior court in the county in which the violation occurred or in a county in which the commissioner maintains an office. A certified copy of a commissioner's order requiring payment from the fund may be filed in the office of the clerk of the superior court. The clerk shall treat the commissioner's order in the same manner as a judgment of the superior court. A commissioner's order so filed has the same effect, and may be recorded, enforced or satisfied in a similar manner, as a judgment of the superior court. No filing fee is required under this subsection. |
