What is a Receiver (in a Divorce)

In some divorces, the Court will appoint a receiver. A receiver will typically be an attorney who will act as the custodian of some (or in rare cases, all) of the parties’ assets. A typical situation where a receiver will be appointed is when there is a piece of real property that needs to be managed. For example, if the couple owns a rental property, a receiver may be appointed to collect the rent, make sure repairs are done and also make sure that any mortgages and property taxes are paid.

Another example of when a receiver will be appointed is when the divorcing couple owns a business or when one of the parties own a business. In this situation, the receiver will actually manage the business (usually by hiring someone).

The Court will appoint a receiver when the divorcing couple is unable to manage certain assets. This could be because one party is not properly taking care of the asset or is simply not capable of taking the case of the asset.

If a receiver is appointed, that receiver will be entitled to earn a reasonable fee. Therefore, if possible, it is better for the divorcing couple to avoid having a receiver appointed.
