Proof of Claim Form

A Proof of Claim Form is a legal document filed by a creditor in a bankruptcy case to assert a claim against the debtor’s assets. The form typically includes the creditor’s name and contact information, the amount and nature of the claim, and any supporting documentation. The deadline for filing a Proof of Claim Form is usually set by the bankruptcy court and is included in the Notice of Bankruptcy Filing sent to creditors. Failure to file a timely Proof of Claim Form may result in the creditor’s claim being disallowed or subordinated to other claims in the case. The Proof of Claim Form is an important tool for creditors to protect their rights and interests in a bankruptcy case.
