Inside the Bankruptcy & Creditors' Rights mode

  • Bankruptcy petitions and schedules

    Builds the means-test income table and drafts Schedules A/B through J and the SOFA from pay stubs, bank statements and the credit report, each figure sourced.

  • Proofs of claim and creditor remedies

    Reconciles proofs of claim against the schedules and the servicer’s payment history, drafts claim objections, and sizes payments exposed to preference clawback.

  • Pleadings and motions

    Drafts stay relief motions, claim objections and answers with affirmative defenses, and assembles notices, certifications and proposed orders in your format.

  • Court filing and docketing

    Counts deadlines from the 341 meeting notice under Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a), and keeps the docket calendar for every case in the folder.

  • Discovery and depositions

    Prepares Rule 2004 examinations, document requests and responses with objections, and deposition outlines for the debtor, a spouse or a judgment debtor.

  • Client intake conflicts and engagement

    Checks conflicts across name variants, co-signers and affiliated entities, then drafts engagement letters with the debt relief agency disclosures.

  • Legal billing and trust accounting

    Reconciles the IOLTA account three ways, tracks bifurcated Chapter 7 fees, and builds the support behind a section 330 fee application.

  • Legal memos and briefs

    Drafts the memo on whether a 910-day car loan can be crammed down, a plan objection response or an opposition to dismissal, in your office format.

  • Legal authority verification

    Checks cited cases and statutes against primary sources and flags anything it could not confirm, before the draft goes to a client or the court.

How it works

  1. 1

    Put the case file in the project folder

    Pay stubs covering the 60 days before filing, six months of bank statements, the tri-merge credit report, tax returns, titles and the debtor’s intake answers. Creditor-side files start from the claims package and the schedules served.

  2. 2

    Ask for the piece of work

    The income table for the means test, a draft of Schedules E/F, the plan payment math, the claims reconciliation, the stay relief motion. Every figure carries the page it came from, and anything missing is listed, not guessed.

  3. 3

    Review, sign, file

    The debtor signs the schedules under penalty of perjury and you certify a reasonable investigation under 11 U.S.C. 707(b)(4), so check each figure against its source. Exemption and chapter calls stay with you, and nothing files without you.

Who it’s for

Consumer bankruptcy lawyers, creditors' rights and collection attorneys, Chapter 13 trustee staff attorneys and bankruptcy paralegals.

Questions

Will the case citations in my drafts be real?

The mode includes an authority check. It looks up each case and statute a draft cites against primary sources and flags anything it could not confirm. You still review every file it touched before anything is filed, because bankruptcy judges sanctioned counsel in 2025 under Rule 9011 for briefs built on fabricated citations and quotations.

Does the court need to know we used AI?

It depends on your district, and Ultramarine Work files nothing, so what you certify to the court stays your responsibility. Some bankruptcy courts order verification or disclosure of generative AI drafting, like the Northern District of Texas general order, and others rely on Rule 9011 certification instead. Read your court’s standing orders and individual practices before filing a draft it produced.

Where does client financial data go?

Ultramarine Work changes files only in the project’s folder. When a request needs it, it can read files elsewhere on your computer, never passwords, keys or app data, and you can turn that off in settings. The model runs on Paper Instruments’ servers, so the content it works on is sent there to be processed. Paper Instruments is SOC 2 Type II, and our security and compliance details are on our compliance page. Whether that meets your confidentiality duties is a call for you and your firm.

Can it run the means test?

Yes, it handles the six-month income table and the arithmetic, while the judgment calls stay with you. From pay stubs, benefit letters and statements it builds the Form 122A-1 income table with a source on every figure, then runs the arithmetic you ask for against the median income and IRS expense data you supply. Household size, whether a bonus or a roommate’s rent counts, which exemptions to claim, and the chapter itself remain calls for the lawyer.
