If you are dealing with an estate where there are beneficiaries located abroad, it can be complicated to ascertain their bankruptcy status as each country processes and records the bankruptcy of individuals in different ways. We have the knowledge and expertise to competently conduct the required international bankruptcy search for you. If a personal representative makes a distribution to a bankrupt beneficiary, there could be a risk that the beneficiary’s trustee in bankruptcy (or equivalent) will make a claim against the personal representatives on behalf of the bankrupt’s creditors. We can reduce the risk by undertaking a bankruptcy search and providing a report of the search results to you and your file.
