Uniform Document Production List

EACH DEBTOR (not attorney or attorney's staff) MUST COMPLETE AND EXECUTE the Uniform Document Production (UDP) List before Counsel uploads it via Trustee Collaborative along with the relevant documents attached as a pdf.  This is to be done NO LATER THAN 7 days prior to the '341 meeting.

If you do not have the UDP, email a request for one ([email protected]) and I will forward a copy for your current and future use.  If you prefer, you may "cut and paste" the UDP LIST AND INSTRUCTIONS below into your own word processor and print it from there as needed.

UDP LIST AND INSTRUCTIONS:

CHAPTER 7 UNIFORM DOCUMENT PRODUCTION LIST

After extensive discussion and negotiation with representatives of the consumer debtors’ bar, the Chapter 7 trustees serving in the Southern District of Indiana have agreed on a uniform list of documents to be provided by each Chapter 7 debtor. These documents must be delivered to the case trustee before the meeting of creditors.

Most of these documents are required by the Bankruptcy Code and Rules. Local Rule B-4002-1 provides additional authority for these document requests.

These are the documents which the trustees believe they need to fulfill their statutory obligations. Meetings of creditors will proceed more smoothly if the documents are submitted in advance. The trustees have also agreed to receive the documents electronically.

The trustees will be expecting these documents in every Chapter 7 case. For cases filed after October 1, 2006, the trustees may elect not to conduct the meeting of creditors on the original date set if the documents listed have not been provided as required.

The trustees will not be distributing this list to you separately. However, the trustees may request specific documents not included in this standard list, if they so desire based on the facts of your case.

Your cooperation with this document request is appreciated, and will help meetings run more quickly and smoothly.
