Receivers and Examiners
Representing the Interests of Creditors in Bankruptcy
During a bankruptcy, there are times when property needs to be protected or the actions of another need to be questioned by an independent third party. When creditors become entangled in questions about another's actions, the court can appoint a trustee or examiner.
At the law firm of Robinson, Diamant & Wolkowitz, we represent those seeking the appointment of a trustee or examiner in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Our team of attorneys provides effective and cost-efficient representation to people in need of competent legal advice.
Receivers: Protection Until the Resolution of Disputes
Provisions under California state law allow the court to appoint a receiver to take possession of property and manage it until litigation is resolved. Many instances during litigation require that an interested party seek out the protection of a receiver. Some examples include a:
- Lender hiring a receiver to protect property in foreclosure
- Receiver appointed to resolve partnership disputes
- Receiver needed to collect rents and manage real property
- Business in need of a receiver to manage day-to-day operations of a company
Examiners: Preliminary Investigation of Disputes
If you suspect that a debtor acted improperly before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but you do not want to pay the expense of a trustee, you may want to consider obtaining an examiner. The law permits the appointment of an independent third party, or examiner, to conduct an investigation of a company filing for bankruptcy.
