The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina announced on Apr. 23 that Local Form 3 and Local Form 4 have been updated to reflect changes to the Local Rules for Chapter 13 cases, with the new versions set to take effect on May 1, 2026.
These updates are intended to ensure that forms used in Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings remain consistent with recent rule modifications. The court has made both Word and PDF versions of the revised forms available for use starting from the effective date.
The revision of these local forms is part of ongoing efforts by the court to maintain clear procedures and documentation standards for bankruptcy cases. The announcement comes as practitioners prepare for procedural adjustments required under the amended rules.
Legal professionals handling Chapter 13 cases are advised to familiarize themselves with the updated forms ahead of their implementation date in order to comply with court requirements.
Further information about accessing or using these revised documents can be obtained through official channels provided by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
