Local Rule Rule 1016-1: Death of a Debtor

Rule 1016-1. Death of a Debtor If a debtor passes away during the pendency of a case, the debtor's attorney of record shall file a suggestion of death with the court within 30 days of debtor's attorney learning of the death of the debtor. The suggestion should provide the debtor's name and date of death but should not include the death certificate due to privacy considerations. In pro se cases, a trustee or attorney who becomes aware of the debtor's death may file a suggestion of death. Any relief related to the death of a debtor must be requested by separate motion.
