Generally you are required to pay the conversion fee at the time you file the conversion papers.

The filing fee must be paid when the conversion is filed or the court will shut down the users account to further filing within 48 hours.

Yes. Attorney fees for the cost of the conversion to a Chapter 7 would have to be paid prior to the conversion. If they are not paid prior, the attorney fees for the conversion would be discharged as part of the Chapter 7 proceeding. The $25.00 court conversion filing fee would also need to be paid.

If this is the fee for your lawyer, then probably yes. If you are asking about the filing fee, then that needs to be paid when the conversion is filed.

Most attorneys will require that you pay the conversion fee before they file the motion to convert.
