(a) With court approval, a receiver may engage an attorney, accountant, appraiser, auctioneer, broker, or other professional to assist the receiver in performing a duty or exercising a power of the receiver. The receiver shall disclose to the court:
(1) The identity and qualifications of the professional;
(2) The scope and nature of the proposed engagement;
(3) Any potential conflict of interest; and
(4) The proposed compensation.

This article does not prevent the receiver from serving in the receivership as an attorney, accountant, auctioneer, or broker when authorized by law.
(c) A receiver or professional engaged under subsection (a) of this section shall file with the court an itemized statement of the time spent, work performed, and billing rate of each person that performed the work and an itemized list of expenses.
