When to use it
Use before a motion under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d), when the creditor wants a response from counsel. Do not send it to the debtor as a collection letter. Do not repossess, foreclose, or set off on the strength of this letter.
Used for these tasks
- Draft winding-up, preference-recovery or stay application papers
- Build a first-day creditors and security-interest map
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may draft the letter from the collateral description and the lawyer's proposal. The lawyer decides whether a motion is justified and what adequate protection to offer or accept.
AI may
- Insert the collateral and the case caption from the lawyer's note
- Leave the adequate-protection paragraph as the option the lawyer selects
- Flag any sentence that demands payment, possession, or foreclosure
AI must not
- Must not demand payment or tell anyone to take possession of estate property
- Must not assert that the stay has already terminated
- Must not send the letter or file a motion
The lawyer checks
- The letter goes to counsel for the debtor, and to the trustee if the lawyer so directs
- No act stayed by section 362(a) is requested in the letter
- Service of any later motion is checked against Rule 4001(a)(1) and Rule 9014, which was not opened
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
