There are two provisions of the Bankruptcy Code that incentivize creditors to continue to work with financially distressed debtors — Sections 503(b)(9) and 546(c). These two sections apply to creditors who remain unpaid at the time of bankruptcy, and also give them options to take certain actions to increase their likelihood to be paid (§503(b)(9)) or to recover their goods (§546(c)).

How do you file an objection to a probate petition? RMO LLP Founding Partner Scott Rahn -- Trust, Estate, Probate Litigator sits down to discuss the web’s most searched #probate, #trust, and #inheritance dispute questions. When someone passes away and leaves behind a will, any interested party can initiate proceedings for the administration of the estate by filing a petition for probate of the will. Under California Probate Code 8250, an interested party can contest the will or oppose the appointment of the proposed executor by filing an objection to probate of the will. This initiates the will contest process, and the objecting party will have the opportunity to prove that the will is legally invalid, or the proposed executor should not be appointed. To file an objection, you or your attorney must submit it to the probate court where the petition for probate of the will was filed. In doing so, you will need to follow the local filing rules for that court. Because objecting to probate and contesting a will typically involves technicalities and can be an uphill battle, it is highly advisable to retain legal counsel to assist you.

Probate is the courts supervised process for distributed a deceased person's assets. During this legal process, if the deceased has a will, it will be validated and their assets distributed according to the will or state law if no will exists. Probate can only be avoided if you plan ahead or if your assets fall under the small estate limit set by your state. Probate requires court supervision, which can lead to delays, legal fees, and public disclosure of your estate details. Leave me your questions about probate in the comments below!

The eDiscovery and Data Breach services industries, like all industries, have always been very relationship driven. Box seats, expensive dinners, industry events, golf outings... Sounds a lot like dating, right? (Except maybe for the golf part). ⛳ You see, we aren't trying to change that. In fact, we believe so deeply in relationships that we are literally connecting people so that they can fall in love and watch their relationships blossom. 👩‍❤️‍👩 👨‍❤️‍👨 👩‍❤️‍👨 Whether you think of us as a Match or Tinder for eDiscovery and data breach, you're right. We'll hook you up. Where we differ is that unlink those sites, meeting people on Breachlink will actually save you money instead of costing you money. 🤣🤣
