What Is a Receiver?

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

In Los Angeles County, Receivers are often appointed by judges of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, with proceedings frequently held at:

• Stanley Mosk Courthouse – 111 N. Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA (Downtown)

• Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center – 210 W. Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA (for related criminal matters affecting property)

Depending on the case, Matthew works closely with key local offices such as:

• Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety – 201 N. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA

• Los Angeles County Assessor’s Office – 500 W. Temple Street, Room 225, Los Angeles, CA

• Los Angeles Planning Department – 200 N. Spring Street, Los Angeles, CA
