I don't think you need a new attorney right away, but you probably need to hire one very soon. If your Chapter 13 Plan is going smoothly, you don't need an attorney. If your income changes, if you need permission to sell property or if you need permission to incur debt, a Motion needs to be filed and most often, scheduled for hearing. You will need the help of an attorney to get these things done. Most bankruptcy attorneys will take over representation for a deceased attorney for a very low fee. Be sure to attend your status conference. Good Luck.

This is general legal advice only. You do not have an attorney-client relationship with Attorney Lynn E. Coleman without a signed retainer agreement and payment of any applicable fees.
