(1) Any person who recovers under this part is considered to have assigned his or her rights under the policy to the corporation to the extent of his or her recovery from the corporation. Every insured or claimant seeking the protection of this part shall cooperate with the corporation to the same extent as the insured or claimant would have been required to cooperate with the insolvent insurer. The corporation has no cause of action against the insured of the insolvent insurer for any sums the insured has paid out except such causes of action as the insolvent insurer would have had if the sums had been paid by the insolvent insurer.
(2) The receiver, liquidator, or statutory successor of an insolvent insurer is bound by settlements of covered claims by the corporation. The court having jurisdiction shall grant such claims priority equal to that to which the claimant would have been entitled, in the absence of this part, against the assets of the insolvent insurer. The expenses of the association or similar organization in handling claims must be accorded the same priority as the liquidator’s expenses.
(3) The corporation shall periodically file with the receiver or liquidator of the insolvent insurer statements of the covered claims paid by the corporation and estimates of anticipated claims on the corporation, which shall preserve the rights of the corporation against the assets of the insolvent insurer.
(4) Any release of the corporation and its insured must clearly state whether or not any claim filed with the receiver in excess of the liability of the corporation under s. 631.57 is waived.
