Bankrupcy is a legally declared inability or severely reduced ability of an individual or an organization or company to pay their creditors.

Bankruptcy is effectively the statutory procedure under federal law by which a person, known as the “debtor” under goes a judicially-supervised liquidation or reorganization.

This process is meant to benefit of creditors where the debtor is usually relieved of much of his indebtedness through discharge. The creditors are given a portion of the debtor’s liquidated assets.

The word bankruptcy is often misspelled as bankruptsy, bankrupsy, or bankrupcy, among other versions, but all these words mean the same thing.
