receiver's

Belonging to getter

Receiver's is the possessive form of receiver—one who receives.

A receiver catches passes in football, handles telephone calls, takes in stolen goods, or manages assets during bankruptcy.

In each case, the possessive marks what belongs to or is associated with that receiver: the receiver's hands, the receiver's report to the court, in the receiver's possession.
