What is a proof of claim?
A proof of claim is a formal document filed with a court in Alaska when creditors are attempting to gain compensation from a debtor. The proof of claim must include the amount of the debt along with a description of the transaction that gave rise to the debt. Once the proof of claim is filed, the court will review the information and determine whether the debt is valid and whether the creditor is entitled to receive payment. If the court finds the debt to be valid, then the creditor will be granted the right to be paid from the proceeds of any assets the debtor has that are available for payment. Creditors Rights Law in Alaska allows creditors to receive compensation for the debts they are owed but this can only happen if the creditor has filed an accurate and valid proof of claim with the court.
