When disputes arise over businesses, real estate, or estates in Sacramento County, courts often turn to a receiver, a neutral third party entrusted with safeguarding, managing, or liquidating assets.
Attorney Matthew L. Taylor, a seasoned Sacramento Receiver, has over 30 years of experience serving as a court-appointed Receiver in Superior Court cases throughout California.

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 Sacramento County, Receivers are often appointed by judges of the Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento, with proceedings frequently held at the Gordon D. Schaber Sacramento County Courthouse at 720 9th Street, near Cesar Chavez Plaza and the Sacramento County Public Law Library.
Receiverships are frequently used in:
Family law disputes involving jointly owned homes in East Sacramento, Natomas, or Arden Park
Business dissolutions in Downtown Sacramento, Midtown, and Folsom
Probate cases concerning estate properties in Fair Oaks, Carmichael, or Rancho Murieta
Code enforcement cases involving unsafe or blighted homes in North Highlands, Del Paso Heights, or Galt
Real estate partition actions involving investment or inherited property across Sacramento County
