Property of the Estate after Confirmation of a Chapter 13 Repayment Plan: Balancing Competing Interests

Authors

Abstract

Under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, it is unclear whether property of the estate and protection of the automatic stay continue after confirmation of debtor's repayment plan. Courts use diverse approaches to determine whether property of the estate exists after confirmation, resulting in confusion for trustees, debtors, and creditors. This Comment proposes that bankruptcy courts use their equitable powers and adopt a test that balances the competing interests of debtor and creditor
