A Court Appointed California District Court Judgement Enforcement Receiver Is Here to Help
FedReceiver, Inc. professionals have been appointed in connection with millions of dollars in judgments on behalf of judgment creditors throughout California. These complex and often time-sensitive cases require specialized expertise — from rapid asset recovery and forensic analysis to business management and liquidation.
Our experienced team works closely with courts, attorneys, and creditors to identify, secure, and distribute assets efficiently and in full compliance with California and federal receivership standards.
Here’s how our California District Court Judgment Enforcement receivers can help you:
Under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 708.620, a receiver may be appointed in aid of execution to enforce judgments when standard collection remedies are insufficient. Additionally, Section 708.510(a) authorizes the court to order a judgment debtor to assign to a receiver all or part of a right to payments — including rents, royalties, commissions, loan values, and other financial interests.
Once appointed, a judgment enforcement receiver possesses the same authority as the judgment creditor to collect, manage, and liquidate assets. Working with forensic accountants, investigators, and legal counsel, FedReceiver, Inc. ensures comprehensive oversight, transparent reporting, and recovery aligned with court directives.
