What if I’ve filed or am thinking about filing for bankruptcy?
• You should ask your bankruptcy attorney or the bankruptcy trustee what receiving a settlement payment means for your bankruptcy filing. What if the eligible borrower has passed away? For the estate to participate in the settlements, the executor of the eligible borrower’s estate (or someone else with the authority to sign on behalf of the estate of the borrower) will need to sign and return the claim form and release by the date indicated. In addition to the signed claim form and release, these additional materials should be returned: • Proof the person who signed the form has the necessary authority to sign on behalf of the borrower’s estate. • A copy of the borrower’s death certificate.
