Receivership Services and Court Appointed Receiver FAQs
1) How is a receiver appointed?
In most cases, the parties’ attorneys collectively decide on a receiver and make a recommendation to the court to have that person appointed.
2) What is the difference between a receiver and a special master?
Generally speaking, a receiver has the authorities stipulated by the court, which may include broad authority and discretion over the operations of the entity. A receiver’s scope can also be limited, depending upon the order from the court. Receiverships can last from a few months to years. A special master is typically given an assigned task that is limited in scope, and once that task is completed, the special master appointment ends.
3) When is an examiner necessary?
An examiner is generally appointed by a bankruptcy trustee or judge in more complex bankruptcy matters to trace assets, analyze business operations, and advise the court of any suspicious transactions.
