<p class="MsoNormal">Caller is seeking referral to an attorney for advice about protection from collection on a personal guarantee made by decedent. Guarantee enforcement risk is substantial, with $100s of thousands at risk.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Decedent guaranteed loan during life time. All assets in Revocable Living Trust at death. No known defenses to payment under guarantee. Bank working on foreclosure, to be followed by action for deficiency on loan under guarantee agreement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Decedent’s successor trustee filed non-probate notice to creditors. Bank filed claim.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Successor trustee now wants advice from a debtor-creditor attorney or bankruptcy attorney. Not a garden variety bankruptcy issue, to my thinking.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Suggestions for referral?<o:p></o:p></p>
