A.      Any trust department that wants to surrender its trust powers shall file with the Superintendent a certified copy of the appro- priate resolution of its board of directors or of the board’s unanimous written consent. If, after investigation, the Superin- tendent concludes that the trust department has no remaining fiduciary duties, the Superintendent shall notify the trust department that it no longer has authority to exercise trust powers.

B.       Any trust company that wants to surrender its certificate of authority to conduct trust business and wind up its affairs shall file with the Superintendent a certified copy of the appropriate resolution of its board of directors or of the board’s unanimous written consent. Upon receipt of the resolution or consent, the Superintendent shall cancel the trust company’s certificate of authority, and the trust company shall not accept new trust accounts.

C.      After winding up its affairs, any trust company that wants to surrender its rights and obligations as a fiduciary and remove itself from the Superintendent’s supervision shall file with the Superintendent a certified copy of the appropriate resolution of its board of directors or of the board’s unanimous written con- sent. If, after investigation, the Superintendent concludes that the trust company has no further fiduciary duties, the Superin- tendent shall notify the trust company that it no longer has authority to exercise fiduciary powers.

D.      Any trust department or trust company that surrenders its pow- ers, rights, obligations, or certificate under this Section or that has them cancelled, suspended, or revoked shall continue to be regulated under A.R.S. § 6-864 and this Article until it winds up its affairs. No action under this Section impairs any liability or  cause  of  action,  existing  or  incurred,  against   any  trust

department or trust company or its stockholders, directors, or officers.
