Bankr. D.S.C. — General rule
LOCAL RULE 6007-1: ABANDONMENT OR DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY a. Abandonment by Specific Notice. In addition to the requirements of SC LBR 9013-4, the provisions and forms of this rule apply to the abandonment of estate property. Estate property may be abandoned pursuant to Fed. R. Bankr. P. 6007(a) by filing and serving a notice and order in substantial conformance with the Court's local forms.
b. Abandonment at the Meeting of Creditors. Except in chapter 11 cases, property may also be abandoned at a meeting of creditors in any case in which a trustee has been appointed and in which notice that estate property may be abandoned at the meeting has been given in the Notice of Meeting of Creditors. To effect abandonment in this manner, the trustee must announce the abandonment at the meeting of creditors and hear no objections. The trustee is responsible for clearly identifying the property abandoned at the meeting of creditors and ensuring entry on the Court's docket. An order in substantial conformance with the Court's local form shall thereafter be submitted to the Court by the trustee.
Notes:
(2025) Paragraph (a) was amended to clarify the requirements imposed by this rule. The scheduling of motions regarding the abandonment of property remains governed by SC LBR 9013-4.
