"Colorado Chapter 11"
Reorganization of debts according to 11 U.S.C. 1101, et seq., through the federal court system. All Colorado
bankruptcy proceedings under chapter
11 must be filed in federal court, and generally, do not require a trustee to administer the estate. The
majority of all Colorado bankruptcy cases filed under Chapter 11 are administered by the debtor-in-possession.
| 11 U.S.C. §1107: "(a) Subject to any limitations on a trustee serving in a case under this
chapter, and to such limitations or conditions as the court prescribes, a debtor in possession shall have all the
rights, other than the right to compensation under section 330 of this title, and powers, and shall perform all
the functions and duties, except the duties specified in sections 1106(a)(2), (3), and (4) of this title, of a
trustee serving in a case under this chapter. (b) Notwithstanding section 327(a) of this title, a person is not
disqualified for employment under section 327 of this title by a debtor in possession solely because of such
person's employment by or representation of the debtor before the commencement of the case" |
NOTE: Spanish language forms and information may be obtained from a various websites, including the United
State Department of Justice, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and other US Court sites. Regarding these
forms, the Colorado Bankruptcy Court advises "While we have no reason to believe that these Spanish language
forms or information have been translated inaccurately, only the English language forms are officially
prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts. Accordingly, the Court for the District of
Colorado can not guarantee the accuracy or sufficiency of information contained in Spanish language forms or
informational documents." The Colorado Bankruptcy Court also maintains a pro bono program to assist qualified
debtors with adversary proceedings (not available to file petitions to initiate Ch. 7 or 13 cases).
