Rule 1016-1 NOTIFICATION OF DEATH OR INCOMPETENCY
(a) NOTIFICATION. If a debtor dies or is adjudicated incompetent, the debtor's attorney, upon becoming aware of the death or adjudication, must file a statement of that fact.
(b) CHAPTER 13 DEBTOR'S CERTIFICATION REGARDING DOMESTIC SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS, DISCHARGES IN PRIOR CASES, AND SECTION 522(q). In a chapter 13 case in which the debtor has died, the certification shall be accompanied by verification that the individual signing is the executor or administrator of the debtor's estate. In the alternative, a motion for exemption from the requirement to file the certification may be filed. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, a copy of the debtor's death certificate shall be attached to the verification or motion for exemption.
