RULE 12.620

RECEIVERS

(a) Notice. The notice provisions of rule 12.605 apply to

applications for the appointment of receivers.

(b) Report. Every receiver must file in the clerk’s office a

true and complete inventory under oath of the property coming

under the receiver’s control or possession under the receiver’s

appointment within 20 days after appointment. Every 3 months

unless the court otherwise orders, the receiver must file in the same

office an inventory and account under oath of any additional

property or effects which the receiver has discovered or which may

have come to the receiver’s hands since appointment, and of the

amount remaining in the hands of or invested by the receiver, and

of the manner in which the same is secured or invested, stating the

balance due from or to the receiver at the time of rendering the last

account and the receipts and expenditures since that time. When a

receiver neglects to file the inventory and account, the court must

enter an order requiring the receiver to file such inventory and

account and to pay out of the receiver’s own funds the expenses of

the order and the proceedings on it within not more than 20 days

after being served with a copy of such order.

(c) Bond. The court may grant leave to put the bond of the

receiver in suit against the sureties without notice to the sureties of

the application for such leave.

(d) Contents of Inventory. Any inventory filed with the

court must be in compliance with Florida Rule of General Practice

and Judicial Administration 2.425.
