Distribution Agent Los Angeles
A San Francisco Distribution Agent may be appointed by the court to oversee the fair, neutral, and compliant disbursement of funds in cases involving Qualified Settlement Funds (QSFs), class actions, regulatory enforcement matters, or commercial disputes. At FedReceiver, Inc., we serve as impartial third parties, ensuring every distribution aligns with court orders, tax regulations, and the interests of all stakeholders. For background on receivership and fund administration, see our guide on the role and purpose of a court-appointed receiver.
Our team has decades of experience acting as court-appointed distribution agents in San Francisco Superior Court and federal courts throughout California. We manage every aspect of the process, including detailed reporting, objection handling, and communication with creditors, claimants, and counsel.
