The Director shall hold the title to such real estate so conveyed to him in trust until other satisfactory securities in lieu thereof have been deposited with him whereupon he shall reconvey the same to such company.

The reserve value of all policies, according to the standard prescribed in this Code for the valuation of policies of life insurance companies, when the first premium shall have been paid thereon, less the amount of any liens, (as set forth in a statement showing kind, nature and amount, attested by the president or vice-president and secretary of the company issuing the policies against which such liens exist) not exceeding such value as the company may have against such policies shall be entered in the record aforesaid at the time such record is made. On the first day of January of each year, or within sixty days thereafter, the Director shall cause the registered policies of each company to be carefully revalued, and the reserve value thereof at the time fixed for such valuation, less any liens, (as set forth in a statement showing kind, nature and amount, attested by the president or vice-president and secretary of the company issuing the policies against which such liens exist) not exceeding such reserve value as the company may have against such policies shall be entered upon the record. It shall be the duty of the Director to cancel mutilated policies issued by said companies prior to the effective date of this Code, and register in lieu thereof other policies of like tenor and date.
