Overview

CaseMark's Motion to Convert Case skill automates the drafting of bankruptcy conversion motions under 11 U.S.C. §§ 706, 1112, and 1307. It analyzes your uploaded case documents to build a complete, court-ready motion with factual narrative, statutory arguments, eligibility analysis, and proper citations. Whether converting from Chapter 7 to Chapter 13 or vice versa, the AI handles the legal complexity so you can focus on strategy.

Drafting a Motion to Convert Case requires careful analysis of multiple bankruptcy schedules, financial records, and statutory provisions. Attorneys must manually cross-reference eligibility requirements, identify material changes in circumstances, construct layered legal arguments, and ensure every citation is accurate—a process that can consume hours of billable time per motion.

CaseMark's AI reads your uploaded bankruptcy case documents, identifies the relevant facts and changed circumstances, selects the controlling conversion statute, and drafts a complete motion with caption, factual background, legal arguments, and prayer for relief. The result is a polished, court-ready motion produced in a fraction of the time it would take to draft manually.

  3. 3. Review the fully drafted motion with factual narrative, statutory arguments, and citations

  4. 4. Export the court-ready motion in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Which bankruptcy conversion scenarios does this skill support?

CaseMark supports conversions between all major chapters, including Chapter 7 to Chapter 13, Chapter 13 to Chapter 7, and Chapter 11 conversions. The AI automatically selects the controlling statute—§ 706, § 1112, or § 1307—based on your case details.

Does the motion include eligibility analysis under § 109?

Yes. CaseMark automatically analyzes whether the debtor meets § 109 eligibility requirements for the target chapter, including debt limits, income thresholds, and means test considerations, and incorporates this analysis into the legal argument section.

Will the motion comply with my local court's formatting rules?

CaseMark generates the caption, header, and overall formatting in accordance with federal bankruptcy rules and common local court requirements. You can review and adjust formatting details to match your specific jurisdiction's local rules before filing.

How does CaseMark handle citation formatting?

All statutory citations, case law references, and record citations in the generated motion follow Bluebook citation standards. CaseMark references specific schedules, exhibits, and docket entries from your uploaded documents.

Can I use this for trustee-initiated or creditor-initiated conversion motions?

Yes. While the skill handles debtor-initiated conversions as of right under § 706(a), it also supports cause-based conversion motions under §§ 1112 and 1307, which may be filed by trustees, creditors, or the U.S. Trustee.

What if the case has a prior conversion history?

CaseMark accounts for prior conversion history, which is critical because prior conversions can affect a debtor's right to convert under § 706(a). The AI flags these issues and adjusts the legal arguments accordingly.
