A creditor has been defined to be one “who has a right to require the fulfillment of an obligation or contract.” Bouvier's Law Diet. But however defined, “creditor” is the correlative ■of “debtor.” As the word “debts” as used in section 984 is in our opinion sufficiently broad to include the word “claim,” we think the holder of a claim must be held to be a creditor within the meaning of sections 985 and 987.
