After the state comptroller has taken charge of an insolvent bank as herein provided, he shall have power and authority, by and with the consent of the chancery court, or of the chancellor in vacation, to whose jurisdiction the affairs of the insolvent bank have been submitted, (and also of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation if the deposits of such bank be to any extent insured by said corporation) to sell the assets of such insolvent bank to any going bank at such price as may be deemed fair and reasonable value for such assets, allowing the purchasing bank to assume all or a certain percentage of the liabilities of the insolvent bank in payment for the assets so sold or taken over by the purchasing bank. Such sale when approved by the chancery court or chancellor shall have the effect of a quit claim of all the right, title and interest of the comptroller and of the insolvent bank in and to the property and assets so sold and transferred. In such cases the title to all assets other than real estate shall pass to the purchasing bank by delivery, and a conveyance of the real estate of the insolvent bank may be made by the comptroller in the form of a deed of conveyance which shall operate as a special warranty deed against the comptroller and the insolvent bank.
