The assets available to secured creditors in a debtor's bankruptcy proceeding must constitute "property of the estate" within the meaning of section 541(a)(1) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

Examples of those arrangements are trusts and escrows. This column discusses two recent cases, "Markel Insurance Company v. Origin Bancorp, Inc.," and "In re: Urban Commons 2 West LLC," where federal courts held that a trust and escrow arrangement, respectively, were each insufficiently structured to protect the related assets from claims of creditors of the bankrupt debtor.

The Supreme Court's holding in MOAC Mall Holdings was that 11 U.S.C. Section 363(m), which limits the impact of appeals of unstayed bankruptcy court sale orders, is not jurisdictional because it does not satisfy the "clear-statement principle" and, thus, it does not preclude all appellate review.
