Question: Why join the California Receivers Forum?

Answer: The California Receivers Forum is the only organization that brings together all of the professionals involved in receiverships – accountants, attorneys, property managers, receivers, work out professionals, vendors to receivers, lenders and others.

Networking at our educational programs often leads to business referrals, and provides a forum to ask questions, and share war stories and bounce ideas off of seasoned professionals.

Educational programs are held periodically. These programs are excellent ways to learn what’s new, how to solve troublesome issues, how to better manage your receiverships, how to prepare better pleadings, how to protect yourself and how to work more effectively within the court system.

Receivership News is published four times a year and mailed to each member. This newsletter includes substantive articles on topics of interest to receivers. 

Question: Which Chapter should I join?

Answer: Most members join the Chapter which is geographically convenient to their business. There are Chapters in San Diego, LA-Orange County, the Bay Area, Central California and Sacramento Valley. You may join more than one Chapter if you choose. Check the "Chapters" section of the web site for information on the Administrator for each Chapter. This individual can answer questions about a chapter.

Question: What is the cost to join?

Answer: $60.00 per calendar year/$200 for a Corporate Membership which allows 4 members per firm

Question: Can CRF refer me to a receivership professional?

Answer: If you need assistance in finding an attorney, accountant, property manger or receiver in a particular geographic area, use the membership directory to find a professional. It is your sole responsibility to choose an individual or company to meet your specific needs. CRF Chapters and their Administrators do not endorse any individual member or referral.

Question: Is there a Certification program for receivers?

Answer: At the current time there is no accredited, nationally recognized certification program for receivers. The courts no longer maintain a "list" or "panel" of receivers. Education is through programs such as those produced by the local CRF Chapters and on-the-job training while employed by an experienced receiver.
