Should I file a claim for money in the trust if the company filed for bankruptcy?

Not enough information in your e-mail to give you an answer. You should contact the bankruptcy trustee.

You should consult with a local attorney before you do anything.

There are insufficient facts to give a good answer, but it is always better to file a Proof of Claim in a bankruptcy case than to miss the deadline for filing a claim.

I need more detailed information about your situation. What type of trust? What company? Etc.

There is no harm in filing a claim.

Yes. Quickly. Do not miss any deadlines.

The notice of bankruptcy that you received should indicate whether it is all right to file a proof of claim at this time, or to wait. Sometimes the notice indicates not to file anything, and later, if the trustee finds there are assets, a new notice is sent to the creditors giving a deadline to file a proof of claim. Filing a proof of claim is easy just fill out the proof of claim form that you will find at the courthouse or online, then file it with the court. The form has instructions and definitions. You send (or take) an original and copy to the clerk of the court for filing, and keep the conformed copy that you get back. Have a postage-paid return envelope. The bankruptcy trustee or judge will determine whether there are any assets to be distributed to the creditors, and in what amounts.
