LIQUIDATIONS &
SEQUESTRATION

“Sequestration”, “bankruptcy”, “insolvency” and “liquidation” are all different terms that simply mean that a person or business is unable to pay their creditors. The term liquidation refers to the bankruptcy of a company or close corporation, while sequestration refers to the bankruptcy of a natural person or a trust. Another term, surrender of estate, refers to the process where a natural person asks a court to declare him or her insolvent.
