Order Converting Case Under Chapter 13 To Case Under Chapter 7 {LF-12}

LF-12 - ORDER CONVERTING CASE UNDER CHAPTER 13 TO CASE UNDER CHAPTER 7. This form is used by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida when a debtor’s Chapter 13 bankruptcy case is converted to a Chapter 7 case. The conversion may occur either by the debtor's consent or upon a motion filed by a party in interest under 11 U.S.C. §1307(c), followed by a hearing. The order formally authorizes the conversion and outlines the debtor’s and Chapter 13 trustee’s post-conversion responsibilities. These include filing updated schedules, a list of postpetition debts, and other required financial documents; transferring estate records to the Chapter 7 trustee; and ensuring creditors are notified. The debtor must also complete and file various forms and certificates, including means testing documents and a statement of intention regarding secured property. If the conversion occurs after plan confirmation, the debtor must report any newly acquired property, unpaid debts, and new contracts. The Chapter 13 trustee is also required to file a final report and handle any funds in compliance with local rules. www.FormsWorkflow.com
