Bankruptcy

Glossary

Bankruptcy is a legal procedure in which a person or business is declared bankrupt by the court because they are no longer able to pay their debts. A trustee is appointed to manage and distribute the debtor’s assets among creditors. Creditors may no longer pursue the debtor directly. The goal is an orderly settlement of debts for the benefit of all parties involved.
