Our Court-Appointed Riverside Divorce Receivers Are Here to Help

Marital dissolution receiverships are often highly contentious and emotionally charged. In many cases, appointing a receiver is the most effective way to safeguard real estate, businesses, cash flow, and personal property that form part of the marital estate. FedReceiver, Inc.’s Riverside Divorce Receivers have extensive experience working with family courts and have managed numerous divorce-related receiverships involving retail stores, restaurants, equipment rental companies, security services, and other businesses at the center of marital disputes.

Here’s how our Riverside Divorce Receivers can help you:

A Riverside Divorce Receiver appointed in a marital dissolution matter may take possession of a range of assets, including real estate, operating companies, financial accounts, stocks, intellectual property, and personal property. These cases often require collaboration with forensic accountants, valuation experts, and other professionals. A divorce receiver must also communicate effectively with both parties, offering guidance when needed and enforcing compliance when required by the circumstances.

  • Businesses

    A divorce receiver may take control of operating businesses to ensure neutral management. The business may ultimately be sold, with proceeds distributed according to court order.

  • Real Estate

    A wide variety of marital real estate assets may be administered, stabilized, managed, or sold.

  • Single Family Home

    Whether a luxury residence or a modest property, FedReceiver oversees management, appraisal, and sale to protect the marital estate.

  • Condominium

    We coordinate with HOAs and property managers to preserve value and, when necessary, sell the condominium in accordance with court directives.

  • Jewelry

    Jewelry collections may be appraised and sold under the receiver’s supervision.

  • Art

    Artworks may be appraised, stored, and sold with proper documentation and valuation.

  • Boats

    Boats may be secured, appraised, and sold for the benefit of the marital estate.

  • RV's

    Recreational vehicles can be stored, appraised, and sold when included as part of the receivership estate.

  • Intellectual Property

    Intellectual property can carry significant value. Experts may be retained to appraise, market, and sell copyrights, trademarks, or other IP.

  • Commercial Property

    Office, industrial, retail, and mixed-use commercial properties may be managed, stabilized, or sold by the receiver.

When is a Riverside Divorce Receiver needed?

A Riverside Divorce Receiver may be appointed when spouses cannot agree on the management, preservation, or disposition of marital assets. Given the emotional and behavioral complexities often present in these cases, divorce receiverships require experience, neutrality, and the ability to manage difficult personalities while protecting the estate.
