## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Insolvency, Restructuring & Bankruptcy](https://ailawframework.com/practice/insolvency-restructuring-and-bankruptcy.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | List each petitioning creditor, the document that states the claim, the amount printed, any lien amount printed on that document, and the page. Do not enter a total on the petition. |
| What the lawyer must review | Official Form 105 and Official Form 205 each have a line for the amount of the claim above the value of any lien, and a total. Section 303(b)(1) measures the petitioning claims as noncontingent, undisputed claims aggregating at least the statutory amount more than the value of liens securing those claims. The opened page prints $10,000 and its adjustment note states $21,050 effective 1 April 2025. You decide which claims count and what the unsecured amount is. The list is working paper. Rule 9011 applies when the figures are presented in the petition. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List each petitioning creditor, the document that states the claim, the amount printed, any lien amount printed on that document, and the page. Do not enter a total on the petition.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- A disputed or contingent claim is left off the aggregate. The tool does not make that call.
- Use the adjusted amount on the § 303 note. The body of the section still prints $10,000.
