Receiverships

Receivership is a structured legal process in which a financially distressed or insolvent insurance company is placed under the supervision of the jurisdictional court and control of the domiciliary state insurance department that acts as the “receiver” and assumes the responsibility of managing the insurer’s affairs to protect the interests of stakeholders. The receiver’s primary goal is to either rehabilitate the insurance company and return it to financial stability or liquidate its assets and distribute the proceeds to policyholders and other creditors to ensure claims are paid to the extent possible. The receiver may also work with other insurance companies or entities, such as guaranty associations, to transfer the policies of an insurer in receivership to ensure policyholders maintain coverage.
