exempting worker's compensation award in California
Posted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 10:05 pm
Listmates,
Here's a related procedural question:
If I have to amend schedules B and C to list claims against the
mortgage lender and possibly amend schedule D to indicate that
mortgage lender's claim is disputed, who do I have to serve with the
amendments?
It makes sense to serve the chapter 7 trustee, the US Trustee, and the
affected creditor. Is my thinking correct?
What code section or bankruptcy rule determines who to serve in this
circumstance?
