When it comes to the culture surrounding bankruptcy<\/a>, it\u2019s no surprise that it has a language all its own. There are all sorts of words that sound unfamiliar, even in a basic definition<\/a> of what \u201cbankruptcy\u201d means:<\/p>\n

\u201cA federally authorized procedure by which a debtor\u2014an individual, corporation, or municipality\u2014\u00a0is relieved of total liability for its debts by making court-approved arrangements for their partial repayment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2026What?!<\/p>\n

Including a few words from that definition, Behm Law Group, Ltd. has a list of key terms<\/a> that will help you translate the language of bankruptcy:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Liabilities<\/strong> are monetary<\/a> or legal obligations.<\/li>\n
  2. Debts <\/strong>are monetary or legal obligations that are owed.<\/li>\n
  3. Debtors<\/strong> can be people, partnerships, corporations, or municipalities. The debtor is the subject within a bankruptcy case, meaning they owe money or have legal obligations towards another person or organization.<\/li>\n
  4. Creditors<\/strong> are people or organizations that debtors owe. Typically, they are owed either money or another legal entity.<\/li>\n
  5. Assets <\/strong>are all forms of property held by the debtor.<\/li>\n
  6. Liquidated<\/strong> debts are for a specific, numerical amount. While debtors are still responsible for non-liquidated debts, their exact monetary amount is not known.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With this list of terms in your dictionary, it should be just a little easier for you to decipher the complex vocabulary within a bankruptcy filing.<\/p>\n
