Rule 66(b). Appointment; oath; bond; certificate

    1. The court shall not appoint as receiver a party, an officer or employee of a party, an attorney for a party, or a person interested in the action; provided, however, that after such notice as the court shall find is adequate, and if no party shall have objected, the court may appoint an employee of a party or an officer of a corporate party, or a person otherwise interested in the action, in a case in which the court finds that the property has been abandoned or that duties of the receiver will consist chiefly of physical preservation of the property (including crops growing thereon), collection of rents or the maturing, harvesting and disposition of crops then growing thereon.

    2. Before entering upon the prescribed duties, the receiver shall file a bond to be approved by the court in the amount fixed by the order of appointment, conditioned that the receiver will faithfully discharge the duties of the receiver in the action and obey the orders of the court. The receiver shall make an oath to the same effect, which shall be endorsed on the bond. The clerk shall thereupon deliver to the receiver a certificate of appointment. The certificate shall contain a description of the property involved in the action.
