sequestrator

One who confiscates

A sequestrator is a person appointed to take custody of disputed property or assets during legal proceedings.

Courts assign sequestrators to manage property when ownership is contested or when a party fails to comply with court orders.

The term also applies to someone who sequesters anything—isolating or setting it apart: The sequestrator of the jury ensured no outside contact during deliberations.
