"Arizona Convert Bankruptcy"
A conversion of an Arizona bankruptcy case from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7, or converting Chapter 7 to Chapter 13,
requires court approval. The process is initiated by filing a motion which requests permission to convert a
pending case to another chapter.
| 11 U.S.C. §348(a): "Conversion of a case from a case under one chapter of this title to a
case under another chapter of this title constitutes an order for relief under the chapter to which the case
is converted, but, except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, does not effect a change in
the date of the filing of the petition, the commencement of the case, or the order for relief." |

a limited exception for certified legal document preparers provided that the services performed are in
