Please review the below business fiduciary roles; then contact us to learn how we can help you fill your needs and solve your problems or concerns. A formal fiduciary client relationship can be created with a court-ordered appointment or a signed contract between SoCal Private Fiduciary® and our client or attorney.
Receiver – corporate and individual
A fiduciary who is hired or court-appointed to act as a neutral intermediary for temporary possession, management, and disposition of assets, a business, property, and/or money belonging to one or more parties/litigants, including tangible and intangible assets and rights, especially in cases where a person or company cannot meet financial obligations, or there is an unresolved question of ownership/title, and to preserve the property or rights of any party. A receiver can also be appointed to hold assets in separation and divorce proceedings until a court determines rightful ownership and/or control. A receiver is usually called in by the bank or creditors involved, and the receiver’s powers derive from the document(s) underlying appointment: a financing agreement or statute, or a court having proper jurisdiction. The usual responsibility of the receiver is to recoup as much of the unpaid loans as possible for the bank or creditors, or to safeguard/manage the asset(s) until ownership/title can be resolved and then make delivery/payments as expected.
The benefits of using receivership over bankruptcy, if contemplated, are lower costs and administration that can be handled in state court by a qualified receiver, the parties, and their attorneys, instead of filing and dealing with a complex, expensive, and time-consuming formal bankruptcy proceeding in federal court.
Bankruptcy Administrator
A fiduciary who is hired or court-appointed to act as a neutral party and manages an organization’s or person’s financial affairs that have been placed in bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding that can be initiated by debtors who know that they will not be able to satisfy the debt requirements of their creditors. In most jurisdictions, bankruptcy is imposed through a court order, which can also be initiated by a creditor. The federal district courts have original and exclusive jurisdiction over all cases arising under the bankruptcy code − bankruptcy cases cannot be filed in state court.
Bankruptcies are complex and costly events. Even simple cases require extensive administration because of the number and high costs of meetings, court hearings, required filings, and related court and professional fees. Instead, consider opting to file a receivership in state court, rather than a bankruptcy in federal court, when certain assets can be identified to potentially satisfy the outstanding debt. Of course, different laws would apply, but a competent attorney can apprise you of your options to save you valuable time and money.
