Death of Debtor/Statement of Death

If a debtor dies while the debtor’s case is pending, debtor’s counsel, debtor’s representative or the joint debtor shall file a statement advising the court of the death. If the debtor’s case is pending under chapter 11, chapter 12, or chapter 13, the statement must indicate whether the case should proceed or whether it should be dismissed. In the event the case should be dismissed, a motion to dismiss shall be filed within fourteen (14) days of the filing of the statement.
