Requirements
What needs to be in place before we accept appointment
These requirements keep the sale neutral and fast, and make the deed easy for a title company to insure.
Receiver qualifications
Under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §64.021, the receiver must be the following. Kasey Jorgenson meets each one and signs a Receiver's Affidavit of Qualifications to file with the proposed order.
- A Texas citizen and a registered Texas voter.
- A Texas resident throughout the receivership.
- Not a party, an attorney, or an interested person in the case.
The property
- It is in Texas.
- It is vacant at appointment, or the order sets a firm vacate date and delivers possession to the receiver that day.
- There is enough equity to cover liens, closing costs, commissions, and fees, or the parties have a written plan for any shortfall.
- Any tenant or lease is disclosed at intake.
The order
Counsel drafts the order. It needs to include our required provisions and:
- Set the bond amount. A modest bond keeps the premium low for both parties.
- Order a cost deposit for expenses that come due before closing.
- Direct our fees to the designated payee shown on our invoice.
How we work
- A conflict check is cleared before appointment.
- All communication runs through both counsel jointly, in writing.
- No ex parte communication with the Court.
What we don't do
- Remove occupants, pursue evictions, or enforce vacate dates. That stays with the parties and the Court.
- Take direction from either party alone.
- Give legal advice to anyone.
