Collateral Valuation

Overview

CaseMark's Collateral Valuation skill automates the complex process of valuing collateral and splitting claims into secured and unsecured portions under 11 U.S.C. § 506. It applies chapter-specific standards, special statutory overrides, and oversecured interest calculations to produce court-ready analyses in a fraction of the time manual review requires.

Valuing collateral in bankruptcy requires navigating overlapping statutory standards, chapter-specific rules, and special overrides like the 910-day vehicle provision. Attorneys spend hours cross-referencing appraisals, calculating deficiencies, and manually splitting claims—work that is tedious, error-prone, and often duplicated across cases.

CaseMark automates the entire collateral valuation workflow by classifying each asset, selecting the correct legal standard, and computing precise secured and unsecured allocations. The result is a comprehensive, court-ready analysis that would take hours to produce manually—delivered in minutes with full transparency into methodology and sources.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload collateral documentation, debt records, and bankruptcy filings

  2. 2. AI classifies collateral, selects valuation standards, and applies chapter-specific rules

  3. 3. Review the secured/unsecured split, deficiency calculations, and special-rule overrides

  4. 4. Export the completed valuation analysis in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Which bankruptcy chapters does this tool support?

CaseMark's collateral valuation skill applies Chapter 7 liquidation value, Chapter 13 replacement value under the Rash standard, and the 910-day vehicle rule. It handles pre-confirmation and post-confirmation postures across all major consumer and business chapters.

How does the tool determine which valuation standard to apply?

CaseMark automatically identifies the applicable chapter, petition date, and plan posture from your uploaded filings, then selects the correct valuation standard—whether liquidation value, replacement value, or a special-rule override like the 910-day hanging paragraph.

Can it handle multiple collateral types in a single analysis?

Yes. CaseMark classifies each piece of collateral—real property, vehicles, equipment, accounts, and more—individually, ranks appropriate valuation sources for each, and produces a consolidated secured vs. unsecured allocation across the entire claim.

Does the tool calculate § 506(b) oversecured interest and fees?

Absolutely. When the collateral value exceeds the claim amount, CaseMark calculates the debtor's entitlement to post-petition interest, fees, and charges under § 506(b), using the contract rate and applicable court standards.

Is this suitable for contested valuation motions under FRBP 3012?

CaseMark's output is designed to support valuation motions, cramdown disputes, and evidentiary hearings. The analysis ranks sources by reliability, flags evidentiary gaps, and structures findings in a format ready for court filings.

What if I'm missing an appraisal or key valuation data?

CaseMark will identify missing prerequisites—such as appraisals, VINs, or condition reports—and flag them before proceeding. This ensures your analysis is built on complete data rather than assumptions that could be challenged.
