Voluntary surrender is a procedure by which a debtor agrees to hand over an asset to their creditor without objection or recourse to force. It is often used in cases of default on payments for vehicles, heavy equipment, or other financed assets.

The bailiff oversees this process to ensure it is conducted legally, peacefully, and with proper documentation, thus avoiding forced seizure and its associated costs. It is a quick and effective solution for resolving what could become a significant dispute between the two parties.

In all cases, we assist both the creditor and the debtor during the voluntary surrender of the asset, and we document the recovery with:

• A report on the condition of the property submitted;
• General photographs that can serve as evidence in case of a dispute.

Generally financed by banks or specialized companies, we are able to recover a wide variety of goods, including:

• Motor vehicles;
• Semi-trailers;
• Agricultural or industrial tractors;
• Boats and watercraft;
• Heavy equipment/machinery;
• Agricultural equipment;
• Mobile homes;
• As well as any other movable property that is the subject of a contract, financing or guarantee.
