Meeting of Creditors Chapter 12

Rev. 10/09/2024

Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002(a)(1)
Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2003

As the court may direct, the clerk or some other person as the court may direct must give at least 21 days' notice of the 341 meeting information (date, time, location) to the debtor, the trustee, all creditors, and indenture trustees. See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 2002(a)(1).

In a Chapter 12 case, Fed. Rule 2003(a) requires the UST to call a meeting of creditors at least 21 days and no more than 35 days after the order for relief date (petition file date or the conversion date to Chapter 12). If the UST designates a place for the meeting that the UST does not regularly staff, the meeting may be held not more than 60 days after the order for relief.

The case trustee schedules the creditors' meeting in the ECF system, and the clerk serves the notice via the Bankruptcy Noticing Center.

Effective December 1, 2017, when the case converts from another chapter to Chapter 12, the trustee must enter the date of the conversion order. The system uses this date to calculate the proof of claim deadline (70 days from conversion). See Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3002(c)

Beginning October 2023, chapter 7, 12, and 13 trustees will conduct 341 meetings via Zoom. Zoom meeting details are posted on the UST's webpage at www.justice.gov/ust/moc.
