(a) Service. Claimants in Chapters 11, 12, and 13 must send a copy of the proof of claim directly to the debtor at the time of filing, if the debtor is not represented by an attorney.

(b) Secured and Unsecured Claims. A proof of claim must indicate whether the claim is secured, unsecured, or if both, must specify the respective amounts claimed. The claim may include proposed amounts for secured and unsecured claims and must clearly indicate that it includes a proposed amount.

(c) Amendment to Claim in Chapter 7. A proof of claim, other than a priority claim, may be amended at any time prior to the trustee's notice of final distribution.

If the trustee has not objected to secured claims, the trustee must give 21 days' notice to all parties who have filed secured claims of his or her intent to file and serve a notice of final distribution.

(d) Filing of Requests for Administrative Expenses in a Chapter 7 Case. A request for payment of administrative expenses must be filed prior to the trustee's notice of final distribution. * * * As amended 12/1/24, 3/17/10, 3/17/07, 10/17/05.
