Proof of Claim is a document that must be filed in a bankruptcy case to inform the court, creditors, and the debtor of a creditor's interest in the bankruptcy estate. It is the legal form that must be filed in order to receive payment from a debtor's assets in a bankruptcy case. A Proof of Claim is a legal document that is filed with the court to establish a creditor’s right to receive payment from the debtor’s bankruptcy estate. The document outlines the amount of the debt and any collateral securing the debt. It also provides other information such as the date the debt was incurred and the creditor’s contact information. There are several types of Proof of Claim, including secured, unsecured, priority, and administrative claims. A secured claim is one where the creditor holds a lien on the debtor’s property. An unsecured claim is one where the creditor does not hold a lien on the debtor’s property. A priority claim is one that must be paid ahead of other unsecured claims due to its nature, such as certain tax claims or child support arbitrages. Administrative claims are those incurred by the bankruptcy trustee in administering the bankruptcy case.
