Motion for Substitution of Party

A Motion for Substitution of Party is a legal document filed in a bankruptcy case to request that the court allow one party to be replaced by another party in the case. This may be necessary if a party dies, becomes incapacitated, or transfers their interest in the case to another party. The motion must identify the original party, the proposed new party, and the reasons for the substitution. The court will consider the motion and any objections raised by the other parties and will grant the motion if it finds that the substitution is appropriate and will not prejudice the rights of the other parties.
