\"\"If a property is underwater and\/or in a blighted condition with numerous lienholders that are hesitant to foreclose? The answer is often receivership. If a property is underwater, but some equity exists a receiver can be appointed to take control of the Property and eventually sell the Property pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure \u201cCCP\u201d \u00a7 568.5. The receivership sale must be confirmed by the Court. (CCP 568.5; (People v. Riverside University<\/em> (1973) 35 Cal. App. 3d 572, 582.) This allows all the lienholders an opportunity to explain their position in Court unlike a Trustee\u2019s Sale, which has no judicial oversight.<\/p>\n

A court can also authorize a process called lien stripping, which can ensure equity is achieved and clear title is delivered to a responsible buyer. (City of Riverside v. Horspool<\/em> (2014) 223 Cal. App. 4th\u00a0 670, 684.) This again provides more protection than a non-judicial foreclosure trustee\u2019s sale, because at the conclusion of the sale confirmation hearing all recorded interests had an opportunity to be heard and a judicial order has been signed confirming the sale. Of course, the confirmation order can be appealed, but the confirmation order is subject to an abuse of discretion review. Id.<\/em> at 683. Therefore, the sale order is highly unlikely to reversed on appeal.<\/p>\n

Receivership is a great remedy to resolve distressed properties and the remedy allows judicial oversight to ensure a problem asset can be turned into a productive use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
