Bankruptcy Court revises Chapter 13 plan model form

The Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana will require use of a revised Chapter 13 plan model form after Aug. 15, pursuant to Local Rule B-3015-1. The form is available on the court's website and may be used immediately.

Revisions to the form follow a comment period on the model Chapter 13 plan that ended July 15. After reviewing comments, Bankruptcy Court Clerk Kevin Dempsey said the court opted to add language to paragraph 7(d) regarding the surrender of secured property, clarifying the status of the automatic stay post-confirmation. Other minor edits also make references to codes, trustees and debtors consistent.
