Estate and project summary
Assemble a coherent record for the Licensed Insolvency Trustee and your adviser. This pack supports review; it is not a proof of claim, lien filing or assertion of priority. Keep the evidence for the debtor identity and proceeding separate from project payment records.
- Creditor legal name and representative
- Debtor legal name and entity identifier
- Estate / court file and proceeding type
- Proceeding date and source
- Verified Licensed Insolvency Trustee or other professional contact
- Project address, jurisdiction and owner type
- Contract reference and scope
- Prepared by, version and as-of date
| Event | Date / uncertainty | Evidence ID |
|---|
Include the original notice and court order if available. Distinguish a search match from confirmation of your exact contracting debtor.
Debt and recovery reconciliation
| Invoice / supply period | Gross CAD | Credits CAD | Paid CAD | Balance CAD |
|---|
- Total ledger balance at proceeding snapshot
- Retained holdback already included
- Disputed or contingent items
- Post-snapshot invoices and receipts kept separate
- Security or guarantee documents
- Other recovery received and allocation
Project evidence
| Work / change | Authorization | Delivery or performance | Invoice link |
|---|
Do not add a change order twice if already invoiced. Do not add holdback to a balance that already contains it. A projected estate distribution is not a confirmed recovery.
Document index and outstanding questions
| ID | Document / date | Fact supported | Custodian / location |
|---|
- Contract, invoice statement, credits, bank receipts and performance evidence reconcile.
- Proceeding identity and professional contact are verified.
- Trust, holdback, lien and security questions are marked for legal review.
- Submitted official form, attachments and delivery evidence are retained separately.
- Every request from the Licensed Insolvency Trustee has an owner and recorded response.
- Missing evidence and retrieval owner
- Unconfirmed dates requiring attention
- Questions for adviser or Licensed Insolvency Trustee
- Secure transfer recipient and date
Do not treat this pack as an official form or a legal opinion.
