After-Acquired Property: How Can a Lender Protect Its Pre-Petition Security Interest in Property Acquired by the Debtor Post‑Petition? |
We’ve all seen it, right? Loan documents where a borrower grants a blanket security interest in nearly all of its assets to a lender, including assets that it may acquire in the future? These “after-acquired” security interests in real and personal property are all too familiar to most secured lenders — especially when lending to a sophisticated business with fluctuating assets. Security interests in a borrower’s future assets are intended to provide extra protection to the lender and are enforceable in most contexts. After-acquired clauses, however, are not guaranteed to give a secured lender a “leg up” once a bankruptcy
is filed. |
