ABI Live Webinar: Consumer Bankruptcy Forms Follow Up - Proof of Claim & Secured Claim Supplement
PRESENTED BY THE CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY COMMITTEE
Effective December 1, 2015, most official bankruptcy forms were updated and reformatted. On November 16th, the Consumer Bankruptcy Committee hosted a webinar that introduced and discussed many of the pending changes to the forms. The committee is now hosting a follow up webinar where speakers will discuss B 410, the proof of claim form; and B 410 - A, the supplement for a secured claim in a debtor’s residence.
Reviews of these changes, from both practitioners and trustees, have been very mixed since their release – and now we want to hear from you! Not only will this webinar allow speakers to discuss pros and cons of these two new forms, but attendees will have ample time to answer polls, ask their own questions, and provide feedback.
