(f) a copy of the written instrument that is the foundation of the claim;

(g) the name and address of the claimant and the attorney who represents the claimant, if any.

(3) At any time, the liquidator may request the claimant to present information or evidence supplementary to that required under subsection (1) and may take testimony under oath, require production of affidavits or depositions, or otherwise obtain additional information or evidence.

(4) A judgment or order against an insured or the insurer entered after the date of filing of a successful petition for liquidation and a judgment or order against an insured or the insurer entered at any time by default or by collusion are not required to be considered as evidence of liability or of quantum of damages. A judgment or order against an insured or the insurer entered within 4 months before the filing of the petition is not required to be considered as evidence of liability or of the quantum of damages.

(5) All claims of a guaranty association or foreign guaranty association must be in the form and contain the substantiation that may be agreed to by the association and the liquidator.
