Significant amendments to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3002.1 take effect December 1, 2025, and will meaningfully alter how mortgage payment changes, post-petition fees, and plan cure determinations are handled in Chapter 13 practice. This session offers a deep dive into the upcoming revisions—what’s changed, why it matters, and how to protect your clients and your record from costly missteps.
Join a panel of seasoned practitioners and trustees as they unpack:
- The expanded applicability of Rule 3002.1 beyond traditional home mortgages, including reverse mortgages and claims paid in full through the plan.
- The introduction of the Motion to Determine Status of Mortgage Claim, including who may file it and when, and the evidentiary implications for counsel.
- Revised obligations for payment change notices and response deadlines—and the consequences of non-compliance.
- The interplay between the amendments and local Chapter 13 procedures, standing orders, and servicer compliance regimes.
- Strategic considerations for debtor and creditor counsel in light of increased transparency and sanction exposure.
You’ll leave this session with a clear understanding of how the 2025 amendments reshape mortgage claim administration and a practical framework for updating your firm’s systems, forms, and courtroom strategies before they take effect.
