- Subsequent to filing of the report, the Trustee must file a Notice of Final Report along with Certificate of Service.
- If an Amended Final Report is filed, an Amended Notice of Final Report along with Certificate of Service must also be filed if the net proceeds exceed $1500.00, following the same procedures as for the original.
- If a Supplemental Final Report is filed, a Notice of Supplemental Final Report along with Certificate of Service must also be filed if the net proceeds listed in the Supplemental Report exceed $1500.00. (The determination of whether the Notice is necessary is based solely on the amounts in the supplemental final report, not on the total amount from both supplemental and original.)
