To assess liability, first determine which companies continue to exist, are newly formed, or are terminated. Then fully identify contracts, loans, supplier claims, tax debts, employment relationships, security interests, warranty risks, and ongoing disputes. Each liability should be assigned to a successor based on the reorganization documents and applicable rules. An internal allocation among the companies involved does not necessarily change a creditor’s rights to the same extent. Therefore, consent requirements, continuing liability, and possible additional liability must be assessed separately. Guarantees, pledges, and other security interests must not be treated as remaining effective unchanged or automatically terminating without review. The company should maintain a liability matrix identifying the creditor, basis of the claim, amount, due date, security, and responsible successor. Registry documents, contracts, creditor notices, and accounting records must all show the same allocation.
