Procedure where absentee left only debts due him; appointment of receiver

§ 20–2308. Procedure where absentee left only debts due him; appointment of receiverWhen the absentee has left no corporeal property within the District of Columbia, but there are debts and obligations due or owing to him from persons within the District of Columbia, a petition may be filed, as provided by section 20–2301, stating the nature and amount of the debts and obligations, as far as known, and praying that a receiver thereof be appointed. The court may thereupon issue a notice as provided by section 20–2303, without issuing a warrant, and may, upon the return of the notice and after a summary hearing, dismiss the petition or appoint a receiver and direct him to demand and collect the debts and obligations specified in the petition. The receiver shall give bond as provided by section 20–2305, and shall hold the proceeds of the debts and obligations and all property received by him, and distribute them as hereafter provided by this chapter. The court may confer upon the receiver such further authority as may be conferred under section 20–2307.
