What is a Receiver and What Do They Do?

01.29.2020

A receiver is an individual selected by the court to receive power, property, and assets of a firm pending an ultimate decision of a lawsuit. Receivers are chosen by the court, government, or contract. Per applicable state law, a receiver could be required to have a receiver bond in order to ensure and safeguard the receiver’s obligation. The bond acts as a way for the principal to recover from the surety company if the obligee fails to fulfill their duties. The surety company can then seek indemnification from the obligee upon payment to the principal as a result of a claim against the bond.

The premium is based on the amount of the bond set by the court.
