If an order is sought under subsection (1), the court shall cause the insurer to be given notice and time to respond as is reasonable under the circumstances.

If it appears to the court that the best interests of creditors, policyholders, and the public require, the court may issue an order to liquidate in terms the court considers appropriate. The filing or recording of the order with the clerk of the circuit court or the register of deeds of the county in which the principal business of the company is located or the county in which its principal office or place of business is located shall impart the same notice as a deed, bill of sale, or other evidence of title duly filed or recorded with that register of deeds would have imparted.
