The Association for California Receivers

What Is A Receiver?
A receiver is an officer of the Court, appointed by a State or Federal Court, under a Court Order, to hold assets in Custodia Legis, ie: in the custody of the Court, or to specifically deal with such assets in strict compliance with the Court Order. The receiver is often appointed to protect, preserve and maintain the assets until the court makes its determination on the underlying case, and stands in the shoes of the owners of the assets to protect and optimize the assets value.
A receiver is usually nominated by plaintiff’s counsel in their moving papers, although the parties can also stipulate to the appointment of a receiver. A receiver may be appointed in a variety of situations including default under a loan, partnership disputes in operating businesses, rents and profits on real property, in municipal health and safety cases, and in post-judgment enforcement.
The California Receivers Forum is a place where receivership professionals can gain education and share knowledge and network with other receivers and industry professionals to more successfully carry out their often complex duties.
