Yes, bondholders typically have a priority claim on a company's assets in the event of liquidation or bankruptcy. They are considered creditors and are paid before equity shareholders when the company's assets are distributed. This priority is established in the bond's terms and the legal framework governing secured and unsecured debts. However, the degree of priority can vary depending on whether the bonds are secured (backed by specific assets) or unsecured.

A charge over assets is a legal interest granted by a borrower to a lender as security for a loan or obligation. It allows the lender to claim specific assets of the borrower if they default on the loan. This can include tangible assets like property or equipment, or intangible assets like receivables. The charge ensures that the lender has a priority claim over the specified assets in the event of liquidation or bankruptcy.

Actually, a secured creditor only retains priority if they file a claim.

Generally not...although each case is different. Some bonds have a direct first priority claim on certain assets that may be sold to pay them. It is very common that the bondholders get the Stock of the company in exchange for not getting paid and hence become owners of the company...which they can hope to improve and sell the stock of...to recover their investment.
Presumably your talking about a credit in a general trade or deposit type account, (not a payroll matter, rent deposit or something on the priority list), it is simply an unsecured non-priority claim.
Common shareholders have the lowest claim on the assets of assets of a firm. They have only a residual claim on the assets and are far below the preferred stock classification.
The State can file an estate claim; however, Medicaid has very low priority in probate.
It absolutely depends on the terms of the BK, and in some regards the terms of the particular bond (not all bonds have a direct claim to assets, or all assets,many are subordinated to other things and many are involved with a certain aspect of the business). In a C-11 business BK, it is not uncommon for the bondholders to end up with much of their recovery being in owning the stock of the revamped company...and how that fares is like any other stock and business venture. Vendors may also end up with an assorted type of payout...from pennies on the $ to everything....... Its reasonable to say that bondholders fare better than stockholders.
More than likely...they are in the eyes of the law, the same priority as any other service provider you didn't pay...say your lawn care bill. Priority isn't really refering to importance of the expense...but it's legal standing in getting paid from your assets. Taxes are a high priority for example, getting paid before others.
Lehman Brothers bondholders have been receiving payments from the liquidation of the firm's assets since its bankruptcy in 2008. The process is ongoing, and payments depend on the distribution of recovered assets, which can take years to finalize. As of now, many bondholders have received partial payments, but full repayment timelines vary based on the specific securities held and the progress of the bankruptcy proceedings. For the most accurate information, bondholders should consult updates from the bankruptcy court or the trustee managing the liquidation.
