A quick definition of proof of debt:

Proof of debt is a way for a creditor to show that someone owes them money. They have to follow certain rules, like filling out a form or writing a statement, to prove that the debt is real. This is the first step in trying to get the money back from the person who owes it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Proof of debt is a process where a creditor provides evidence of a debt owed to them in a specific way, such as through an affidavit. This is the first step in trying to recover the debt from an estate or property. It is also known as proof of claim.

Example 1: John is a creditor who is owed $10,000 by a debtor who has recently passed away. John needs to provide proof of debt to the executor of the estate in order to try and recover the money owed to him. He submits an affidavit detailing the amount owed, the reason for the debt, and any supporting documents.

Example 2: Sarah is a business owner who has provided services to a client who has not paid their bill. She decides to take legal action to recover the debt and must provide proof of debt to the court. She submits invoices, contracts, and any other relevant documents to prove that the debt is owed.

These examples illustrate how proof of debt is used to establish that a debt is owed and to begin the process of trying to recover the money owed. It is important for creditors to provide accurate and complete information in their proof of debt in order to have a better chance of successfully recovering the debt.
