## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Insolvency, Restructuring & Bankruptcy](https://ailawframework.com/practice/insolvency-restructuring-and-bankruptcy.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the schedules and the proofs the lawyer designates, list each creditor, the amount asserted, whether a writing is attached, and whether the proof is signed by the creditor or the creditor’s agent. |
| What the lawyer must review | A proof of claim is a written statement of the creditor’s claim and must substantially conform to Official Form 410 (Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3001(a)). Only a creditor or the creditor’s agent may sign it, except as Rules 3004 and 3005 provide (Rule 3001(b)). If the claim is based on a writing, a copy is filed with the proof, with the exceptions in Rule 3001(c). The lawyer completes the form. The tool does not sign it and does not write any declaration on it. Distribution of estate property in a chapter 7 case follows 11 U.S.C. § 726, which is a different step from listing the claims. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the schedules and the proofs the lawyer designates, list each creditor, the amount asserted, whether a writing is attached, and whether the proof is signed by the creditor or the creditor’s agent.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The courts’ form page lists Official Form 410 as effective 1 December 2024 and links b_410_0425-form.pdf. Use that PDF, not a generated facsimile. The PDF itself was not opened for this version, so do not add declaration wording from memory.
- There is no Australian proof-of-debt form in a US case. Do not import one.
