In law, receivership is the situation in which an institution or enterprise is being held by a receiver, a person "placed in the custodial responsibility for the property of others, including tangible and intangible assets and rights. " Various types of receiver appointments exist:

• a receiver appointed by a (government) regulator pursuant to a statute;
• a privately-appointed receiver; and
• a court-appointed receiver.

The receiver's powers "flow from the document(s) underlying his appointment - a statute, financing agreement, or court order.
