receiverships
Creditor protection arrangements
Receiverships is the plural of receivership, the legal status of a business or property placed under control of a court-appointed receiver.
A receiver manages assets during bankruptcy, foreclosure, or disputes—protecting value while creditors' claims are sorted out.
Several local banks went into receiverships during the financial crisis.
