Kentucky State Approved Sessions

The panel will discuss and contrast (and will invite the workshop attendees to discuss) the various options for ending chapter 11 cases after the debtor’s assets have been sold, including plans of liquidation, liquidation and litigation trusts, dismissals, structured dismissals and conversion. Issues will include things to consider when planning for the debtor’s wind-down staffing and budget. The panel will also discuss the rest of the story from the perspective of the § 363 purchaser, focusing on recent developments in successor liability.

As more states are adopting asset-protection trust statutes, more issues have been arising in bankruptcy when these trusts take center stage in a fraudulent transfer, substantial-abuse, alter-ego or objection-to-discharge battle. This panel will provide insight into the creation of asset-protection trusts, issues that arise when these trusts are challenged in bankruptcy, and practical tips for both creating asset-protection trusts that can withstand bankruptcy challenges and litigating these trusts in bankruptcy.
