the company declaring the bk? Absolutely not...the court can. But for the Co to even suggest it happened...when preferential payments are actually against the law....so it would be admitting it did so...would be more than stupid. And by its' very nature...payments made to all creditors can't be preferential...only payments made to specific creditors (or others) and not all may be.

The type of lien you file, if any and how, is not effected/changed by someone "declaring" bankruptcy, as all creditors will have the opportunity to submit proofs of claim. If they have already declared, then you can't file a lien anyway as all collection actions are barred. Just your proof of claim. Normally, a "someone" doesn't file C-11....it is for Companies.

If your father was involved in a bankruptcy proceeding at the time of his death his assets are encumbered by the proceeding. The bankruptcy proceeding would affect the title to his property until it is resolved. His estate would need to be probated in order for the title to his property to pass to you. When an estate is probated the creditors must be paid first before any distribution to heirs can be made. You should contact your father's bankruptcy lawyer or his trustee in bankruptcy to notify them of his death and to determine what your options are. If that's not possible you should seek the advice of a probate attorney.
