(1) The liquidator shall review all claims duly filed in the liquidation and shall further investigate as he or she considers necessary. The liquidator may compound, compromise, or in any other manner negotiate the amount for which claims will be recommended to the court unless the liquidator is required by law to accept claims as settled by a person or organization, including a guaranty association or foreign guaranty association. Unresolved disputes shall be determined under section 8139. As soon as practicable, the liquidator shall present to the court a report of the claims against the insurer with his or her recommendations. The report shall include the name and address of each claimant and the amount of the claim finally recommended, if any. If the insurer has issued annuities or life insurance policies, the liquidator shall report the persons, according to the records of the insurer, to whom amounts are owed as cash surrender values or other investment value and the amounts owed.

    (2) The court may approve, disapprove, or modify the report on claims by the liquidator. Reports not modified by the court within a period of 60 days following submission by the liquidator shall be treated by the liquidator as allowed claims, subject to later modification or to rulings made by the court pursuant to section 8139. A claim under a policy of insurance shall not be allowed for an amount in excess of the applicable policy limits.
