General Order 2010-2

Order Permitting Chapter 13 Trustee to Approve

Real Estate Loan Modification and the Incurring of Debt

The Court recognizes that after the filing of a petition under chapter 13 of the bankruptcy code it may be necessary for a debtor to enter into agreements with creditors to modify security interests in real property of the debtor or to incur consumer debt to obtain goods or services necessary to the debtor's performance under a chapter 13 plan . As set forth in 11 U. S. C. § 1305(c), where prior approval of the trustee is practicable to obtain,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the case trustee is authorized, without further order of this

Court, to grant permission to the debtor to enter into agreements to modify a security interest in the debtor's real property or to incur debt as set forth in 11 U. S. C. § 1305. Nothing in this General Order is to prevent the trustee from denying a request from the debtor to so modify or to incur debt, or prevent the debtor from filing a motion seeking Court approval of a debtor's request to so modify or to incur debt. Applications depicting the approval of the chapter 13 trustee to so modify or to incur debt may be filed with the Clerk 's office in accordance with the Court's filing procedures.
