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 tasked with protecting the value of the assets until the legal matter is resolved.

In San Joaquin County, Receivers are often appointed by judges of the Superior Court of California, County of San Joaquin, with many proceedings held at the Stockton Courthouse at 180 East Weber Avenue, near Weber Point Events Center and the San Joaquin County Administration Building.
