How does Chapter 11 bankruptcy affect employees?

Chapter 11 bankruptcy should not affect employees. Typically, all employees will get paid in chapter 11, so long as the business intends on continued operations. Think General Motors Corporation – the employees kept getting paid – however if the business is closing and is not moving forward, there is a chance the employees will all lose their jobs - think Enron.

What is a probate and when it is required?

Probate is the process of applying for and receiving legal approval to administer the estate of a deceased person . Typically, this is done through a court proceeding in the state where the deceased had property or lived. When someone dies, their assets must be transferred from their name to that of their heirs or beneficiaries. This can't be done until legal approval from the probate court has been obtained. When you have been appointed by the court as the executor of an estate , you are responsible for gathering all of the deceased person's assets and paying off any debts that they owe. You'll also need to gather up all of their pertinent documents and make sure that all necessary taxes have been paid. A probate is required when a person has died and we need their signature to transfer property.  When you need a lawyer to help with probate , call this law firm for a free consultation: Parklin Law LLC 5772 West 8030 South, Unit N206 West Jordan, UT 84081 (801) 618-0699 ht...
