When disputes arise over businesses, real estate, or estates in Marin County, the courts often appoint a Receiver, a neutral third party entrusted with safeguarding, managing, or liquidating assets.

Attorney Matthew L. Taylor, a seasoned Marin Receiver, has over 30 years of experience serving as a court-appointed Receiver in Superior Court cases across California.

What Is a Receiver?

A Receiver is a court-appointed fiduciary who takes custody of disputed assets, such as homes, businesses, rental properties, or financial accounts, during litigation. The Receiver operates independently of the parties in the lawsuit and is responsible for protecting the value of the assets until the case is resolved.

In Marin County, Receivers are often appointed by judges of the Superior Court of California, County of Marin, with proceedings commonly held at the Marin County Civic Center at 3501 Civic Center Drive, San Rafael, a Frank Lloyd Wright architectural landmark, near the Marin County Recorder’s Office and Marin County Assessor’s Office.

Receiverships are frequently used in:

• Family law disputes involving jointly owned homes in Mill Valley, Larkspur, or Tiburon

• Business dissolutions in San Rafael, Corte Madera, and Novato

• Probate cases concerning estate properties in Belvedere, Kentfield, or Ross

• Code enforcement cases involving unsafe or blighted homes in Fairfax, Marin City, or unincorporated areas along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard

• Real estate partition actions involving investment or inherited property across Marin, from Sausalito to Stinson Beach
