| You got boat insurance from an insurance
company that specializes in boat insurance but the company has suddenly gone
under liquidation proceedings. Oh no! What is going to happen to the boat
insurance company? Liquidators will now be in charge of winding up of the
insurance company's affairs. What does this mean? The liquidator has the
responsibility of settling the claims against the company, collecting all
the company assets before the company will finally be dissolved.
Liquidation is a term used to distinguish the process in which a company is
slowly and peacefully brought to end. The assets and properties of the
company will be redistributed. There are many processes within liquidation
and the last stage of such is dissolution of the company. There are types of
liquidation. Liquidation can be compulsory, meaning creditors of the company
demand the company's liquidation. Or the company itself will decide to
liquidate itself; this is known as voluntary liquidation or a shareholder's
liquidation.
In compulsory liquidation, upon proper petition of the creditors, the
court will appoint the boat insurance company's a liquidator or receiver.
While in voluntary liquidation, the company will pass a resolution and the
boat insurance company appoints a liquidator to liquidate all its assets and
properties of the company to convert it into cash. Liquidators can be a
single person or they can be a committee.
The boat insurance company's liquidator will have different powers
and duties according to different laws. As already stated, the boat
insurance company's liquidator actions will sometimes need prior court
approval but a description and instruction of their duties and powers are
already found within the court appointment order or the company board
resolution. |

| The boat insurance company's liquidator
will first liquidate assets of the company, meaning, he will sell the assets
of the company. This will allow the company to raise money to meet the
claims of their creditors. The liquidator will make compromises and
arrangements with the boat company's creditors. Creditors may be secured
creditors or unsecured creditors. This is just a general overview because
there are different creditors such as a preferred one or an unsecured one.
Laws on the matter differ in different countries. Hence, its impractical to
discuss more about this topic about creditors. Skipping the part about
creditors, their differences and how their claims should be settled,
dissolution comes next. Having successfully settled the affairs of the
company, the boat insurance company's liquidator can now call the members if
it was a voluntary liquidation or the creditors if it was a compulsory
liquidation. The liquidator will give his final report and notify the court.
The company is now considered as dissolved.
The boat insurance company's liquidator should perform his duties
and powers faithfully or else the board members or the creditors can ask the
court to remove the liquidator from his duty and have him replaced with a
new and more efficient liquidator. A cause for removal can be the
liquidator's failure to find good terms for the company when it comes to
disposal of its assets. The reason for his removal must be in relation to
his job as a liquidator and not in his personal life. His function in
liquidation proceedings is very important. He generally facilitates
liquidation of the company's properties and how the process should end up.
