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. However, creditors can sometimes find assets of a debtor outside the realm of a bankruptcy debtor's estate based on certain pre-bankruptcy arrangements. 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.
