What is “asset recovery” in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

Asset recovery in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is the process of recovering a debtor’s assets to pay off creditors. These assets could include cash, real estate, personal property, investment accounts, or even intellectual property. In a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the debtor can keep and continue to use all of these assets while they are being used to pay their creditors. Asset recovery works by utilizing an appointed trustee to review the debtor’s assets, negotiate with creditors, and manage the process of liquidating assets to pay outstanding debts. Throughout the asset recovery process, the debtor’s assets are safeguarded, so that they cannot be sold or used improperly. The trustee is responsible for determining the value of the assets, and then negotiating the best possible terms with creditors. This includes reviewing contracts, investigating any potential fraud, and managing any litigation that may arise as a result of the bankruptcy. Once the asset recovery process is complete, the trustee will submit their report to the court. The court will then review the report and issue a final order that establishes the amount of debt that needs to be paid and how it will be paid. As long as the debtor is compliant with the court order, the assets will remain their property, but all assets will eventually be used to pay off creditors in a timely manner.
