The Chapter 13 Plan Training Workbook

What is the difference between a Chapter 7 and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition? To the paralegal or virtual assistant who is focused on preparing the bankruptcy petition, the Forms and Schedules are basically the same in a Chapter 7 as they are in a Chapter 13. Additionally, the Chapter 13 petition does require some additional information as well as a Chapter 13 Plan. The ''Chapter 13 Plan'' replaces the ''Individual Debtor's Statement of Intention'' in a Chapter 7. Therefore, all you basically need to learn is how to prepare a Chapter 13 Plan and you will be able to prepare Chapter 13 bankruptcy petitions. Once you learn how to prepare Chapter 13 bankruptcy petitions, you get an immediate raise in salary. Why? Because your attorney will get paid more for a Chapter 13 versus a Chapter 7. There is also more work involved in developing the Chapter 13 Plan for submission to the court and creditors. Because of this additional work, you, the attorney and the bankruptcy court will normally always make more money with a Chapter 13 petition compared to a Chapter 7. Don't let the lack of knowledge in how to prepare a Chapter 13 Plan stand in your way of advancing your skills.

ADVANTAGES ** For bankruptcy paralegals, learning how to prepare Chapter 13 Plans is essential now that the new BAPCPA is in effect. Because the BAPCPA dictates whether a debtor is eligible for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, it is to your advantage to learn how to prepare Chapter 13's since you already know how to prepare Chapter 7s. ** Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorneys can add Chapter 13s to their law practice and stop throwing their money out the window by giving the case to another attorney. Also, a Chapter 7 attorney can enjoy the financial benefits a steady stream of Chapter 13s can bring. ** As a virtual bankruptcy assistant, you can give yourself an immediate raise in salary. Preparing Chapter 13 Plans requires additional work; therefore you are paid $100 or more over and above your Chapter 7 fee. Don't miss out on the opportunity to advance your skills which will pay off many times over.
