Abstract: 

Post-confirmation liquidating trusts are a popular tool to allow claims to be pursued for the benefit of a debtor’s creditors. In this article, the authors discuss various pitfalls for such trusts, in particular: (1) preserving post-confirmation causes of action; (2) protection of privileges; (3) avoidance of standing issues; (4) preservation of rights under prepetition indentures; and (5) proper drafting of certain plan provisions.

Keywords: 11 U.S.C. § 1123 (b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code; Post-Confirmation Trusts
