Terms Used In Indiana Code 30-2-7-7
- Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Insolvent debtor: means any insolvent person, decedent's estate, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, or business association involved in a liquidation proceeding as defined in this chapter. See Indiana Code 30-2-7-1
Sec. 7. When any creditor has legal or equitable security upon assets which are exempt from process for the satisfaction of unsecured debts and are duly claimed as exempt by the insolvent debtor, the value of such security shall not be credited upon the claim. Amounts realized by the creditor from such security after liquidation proceedings are begun shall be disregarded in computing dividends, unless the dividend so computed exceeds the sum actually owing upon the claim, in which event only the amount owing shall be paid.
Formerly: Acts 1941, c.50, s.7.
