Review proofs of claim and list what a dividend schedule would have to decide
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- For each proof in the file, list the creditor, the amount the proof states, and whether a writing is attached. Do not compute a dividend and do not sign a schedule of distribution.
- What the lawyer must review
- Bankruptcy Rule 3001(a) requires a proof of claim to substantially conform to Official Form 410. Rule 3001(b) allows only a creditor or the creditor’s agent to sign, except as Rules 3004 and 3005 provide. 11 U.S.C. § 726(a) begins the distribution of property of the estate, except as § 510 provides, with payment of claims of the kind specified in § 507, on the timely-filing terms in § 726(a)(1). The lawyer applies the rest of § 726. The tool does not. The Official Form 410 page was opened. The PDF was not, so the declaration on the form is not described. Bankruptcy Rule 9011(b) certifies a document presented to the court.
