LBR 6007.1 ABANDONMENT OF PROPERTY OF THE CHAPTER 7 ESTATE

(a) Deadline for Objecting to Abandonment. When the clerk of the court provides the Notice of Bankruptcy Case, Meeting of Creditors and Deadlines, the Notice must contain a provision that within 60 days from the conclusion of the meeting of creditors held under 11 U.S.C. § 341, the Chapter 7 trustee may file notice of intended abandonment of any or all of the debtor's property in the estate as authorized by 11 U.S.C. § 554 without further service on creditors or interested parties. Unless a creditor or interested party objects to abandonment within 75 days after the conclusion of the meeting of creditors, the property subject to the intended abandonment will be deemed abandoned without further notice or order of the court.

(b) Procedure if timely objection. If a creditor or party in interest timely objects, the court will schedule a hearing. The property that is the subject of the objection to the intended abandonment will not be deemed abandoned until the objection is resolved by court order. All other property subject to the intended abandonment, however, will be deemed abandoned without further notice or court order. * * * As amended 3/17/14, 10/17/05.
