In re Shepherd

Ruling
Personal representative of decedent debtor's estate could not be substituted for debtor to continue case.
Procedural posture

The personal representative of debtor's estate filed a motion asking to be substituted for debtor in this proceeding and, assuming that was accomplished, use that new status to seek modification of the confirmed plan. The matter was before the court to consider those issues, following a hearing and the submission of briefs. There were no objections to either motion from any creditor or other party in interest.
