A Receiver is a disinterested court officer who is appointed by a Common Please Court following the filing of an application of petition. In the interest of recovering and protecting assets, the Receiver is given certain authority including:

​

• Discretion to manage and liquidate the entity's assets, while accounting for all receipts and payments

• Filing claims on behalf of the entity placed into "receivership"

• Distributing assets to claimants or creditors through a court-approved plan

​

Placing a business in receivership is an "equitable" action that allows a Judge to protect assets while parties are in legal disputes. Receivers, therefore, ultimately report to the Judge, and not to the plaintiff or defendant.  Sometimes, 

the act of petitioning a court for a Receiver can in itself encourage parties towards a settlement.

​​

While Receivers are most commonly appointed over real estate, they can also handle:​

• Businesses

• Insurance Companies/Claims

• Health and Safety Issues

• Environmental Issues

• Family Estates

• Government Regulatory Matters

• Enforcing Judgments

​

To start the Receivership process, schedule a meeting with New Perspective Asset Management to discuss your needs and see if the court-receivership process is right for you or your client's situation. ​If parties agree the court-receivership process could be beneficial to their needs, schedule a second meeting with the legal counsel for New Perspective Asset Management and other key players to discuss how the process works and where best to employ it.
