Inside the Receivership: The Role of the Court-Appointed Receiver

A talk by Richardson “Red” Griswold. You've learned when a receivership is the right tool, but what happens after the judge signs the order? In this follow-up session, court-appointed receiver Richardson "Red" Griswold of Griswold Receivers pulls back the curtain on what a receiver actually does once appointed. Red has been appointed by over 300 courts in 30 counties to take control of dilapidated, abandoned, and nuisance properties, from single-family homes and apartments to motels and commercial buildings, overseeing their management, rehabilitation, and court-authorized sale. In this class, he explains the receiver's role and responsibilities, what the court requires of them, how they secure and stabilize a property, and how they work with the city, the court, and the property owner to bring a troubled site back into compliance. You will walk away understanding what happens on the other side of the petition, what a receiver needs from code enforcement to succeed, and how the partnership between officer and receiver turns the worst properties in your community into success stories.
