Post-Confirmation Assets in Chapter 13

The question of whether and to what extent a chapter 13 debtor’s acquisition of post-confirmation assets compels plan modification remains a particularly active and evolving area of the law that has seen further development over the past year. This panel will explore where courts and trustees may draw the line regarding “how much” post-confirmation value triggers action, the scope of trustee discretion in deciding whether to seek modification, and the fundamental (and often difficult) questions surrounding disclosure of post-confirmation assets, including how debtors’ counsel should be advising clients in these circumstances.
