Here’s how our Orange County Divorce Receivers can help you:

A court-appointed Orange County divorce receiver may take possession of a wide range of marital assets, including real estate, stocks, businesses, intellectual property, and personal property. These complex cases often require the use of forensic accounting services to ensure transparency. In addition, the receiver must be able to communicate effectively with all parties, offering guidance when necessary, but also acting firmly to protect the estate when facts require.
