Receivership & Professional Fiduciary

There are reasons that judges in Scott County and throughout the metro area look to Jaspers, Moriarty & Wetherille, P.A., when they need to appoint attorneys to difficult cases and solve difficult-to-resolve problems. Judges know we combine our experience, skill and pragmatism to solve complex matters. From recovering assets in embezzlement and fraud cases, discovering secreted assets and putting them back where they belong, fixing probate or corporate actions done wrongfully, or dealing with feuding spouses or business owners, we are routinely entrusted with high stakes cases and consistently deliver results that the court expects and that serve the interests of justice.

We serve as receiver under Minn. Stat. § 576.25 in situations of corporate deadlock, to preserve or recover assets, in contested divorces, and to protect judgment creditors or pre-judgment matters to preserve assets.

We are appointed as a professional to audit the work of fiduciaries and report to the court about malfeasance.

We are appointed as personal representatives and trustee to oversee estate and trust administration, and to correct past wrongs including misappropriation of assets, prosecuting claims, corrective actions, unwinding fraud and embezzlement and similar problems.

• In Re Culp – sold residential property in highly contested divorce
