Assignment For The Benefit Of Creditors

An Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (“ABC”) exists under Florida law and is generally employed for the liquidation of an insolvent business. An ABC involves the assignment of all of a company’s assets to a third-party assignee, who is selected by the debtor.

In many ways an ABC is analogous to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, however, unlike a Chapter 7, there is no automatic stay enjoining creditors from pursuing individual collection efforts and the assignee is not granted special authority to avoid and recover certain pre-assignment transfers.

If a debtor is a suitable candidate for an ABC, this can be an efficient technique to avoid some of the negative aspects of bankruptcy. The attorneys at FurrCohen can help an insolvent debtor develop a plan to maximize the return for creditors, while limiting the negative aspects of bankruptcy.

Robert Furr and Marc Barmat are experienced fiduciaries who are also available to serve as an assignee for an insolvent debtor.
