RULE 12.620
RECEIVERS
(a) Notice. The notice provisions of rule 12.605 apply to
applications for the appointment of receivers.
(b) Report. Every receiver must file in the clerk’s office a
true and complete inventory under oath of the property coming
under the receiver’s control or possession under the receiver’s
appointment within 20 days after appointment. Every 3 months
unless the court otherwise orders, the receiver must file in the same
office an inventory and account under oath of any additional
property or effects which the receiver has discovered or which may
have come to the receiver’s hands since appointment, and of the
amount remaining in the hands of or invested by the receiver, and
of the manner in which the same is secured or invested, stating the
balance due from or to the receiver at the time of rendering the last
account and the receipts and expenditures since that time. When a
receiver neglects to file the inventory and account, the court must
enter an order requiring the receiver to file such inventory and
account and to pay out of the receiver’s own funds the expenses of
the order and the proceedings on it within not more than 20 days
after being served with a copy of such order.
(c) Bond. The court may grant leave to put the bond of the
receiver in suit against the sureties without notice to the sureties of
the application for such leave.

court must be in compliance with Florida Rule of General Practice
and Judicial Administration 2.425.
