Support Electronically Signed Liquidating Trust Agreement For Free

The trust agreement will have provisions establishing how long the trust will last and when it will terminate. Liquidating trusts ordinarily do not last more than five years; however, this period can be extended with bankruptcy court approval if there is remaining litigation to resolve or distributions to make.

Liquidating trusts are funded with assets held for the benefit of creditors who may have a claim against the debtor. These trusts can exist from several months to several years, depending on how long it takes to liquidate the assets and work through various claims and settlements.

A liquidating trust formed for the primary purpose of liquidating and distributing the assets transferred to it is taxed as a trust, and not as an association, despite the possibility of profit ( Reg. §301.7701-4(d)).

A liquidating trust is a new legal entity that becomes successor to the liquidating fund. The remaining assets and liabilities are transferred into the newly formed trust and the former owners of the liquidating fund become unit holders or beneficiaries of the trust.

The purpose of a liquidating trust is to: Collect and hold assets and claims of the debtor as specified in the bankruptcy plan. Liquidate the trust assets. Resolve disputed claims.
