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. They operate independently from the parties involved and focus on preserving and protecting the value of those assets until the legal dispute is resolved.

In Ventura County, Receivers are often appointed by judges of the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura, located at Hall of Justice, 800 South Victoria Avenue, Ventura, CA. Depending on the case, Matthew works closely with:

• City of Ventura Building & Safety Division – 501 Poli Street, Room 117

• Ventura County Assessor’s Office – 800 South Victoria Avenue, Ventura, CA

• Ventura Planning Division – 501 Poli Street, Room 117

• Ventura County Treasurer-Tax Collector – 800 South Victoria Avenue, Ventura, CA
