Local Rule 6004-1: SALE OF ESTATE PROPERTY
Bankr. E.D. Va. — Civil rule
RULE 6004-1 SALE OF ESTATE PROPERTY All motions or complaints for sale of real property or any interest therein shall contain the legal description of said real property sufficient to effect a proper conveyance thereof. Orders approving the sale of property of the estate or any interest therein shall comply with LBR 9022-1(E).
Comments 6004-1 The cross-reference to LBR 9022-1(D) has been added to remind the practitioner of the requirement that orders approving the sale of real estate or any interest therein, like all orders, must stand alone without reference to external documents, e.g., the order should not purport to approve the sale of the real estate or any interest therein "in accordance with the terms of the contract attached to the motion" but should state the essential terms of the sale, e.g., "to John and Joanna Doe for the price of $173,000." [Change effective 3/1/01.]
6004-1 This rule provision is amended to conform to the current version of LBR 9022-1. [Change effective 08/01/23.]
