3 Customization & Real-Time Calculations Since every Chapter 13 Plan is different, NextChapter s calculator allows for complete control and customization to meet your client s needs and your court s requirements. The figures in the Calculator table are recalculated as soon as you make any changes to the plan or any claim treatments Chapter 13 Plan Editor After you ve added in your claims and entered all plan treatment, you can go to the Chapter 13 Plan section to start the plan. Starting a new plan: 1. Select which plan you would like to use. You'll see a preview of the plan to confirm it's the one you want to use. 2. Update the title to your plan so that you know which version you're working on. This will be helpful later if you need to file an amended plan.

Any sections that we are unable to complete will be highlighted yellow to let you know that these sections will need manually updated. There's no need to remove the highlight after you've entered the information needed because NextChapter automatically removes all highlights when the plan is converted to a PDF. 4. Preview your plan at any time by clicking on Export as PDF. You can make as edits and export the plan to PDF as many times necessary. You can also save your plan and come back to make any updates or edits later. All your previous work will be saved. 5. After you save a plan, you will see it listed in Chapter 13 Plan section. Here you can edit or delete the plan. If you need to make an amendment to the plan, you can select Duplicate which will duplicate that plan and you can change the plan name to indicate that it is the amended form.

5 Tips to Editing Plans: Checkboxes: Plans that contain checkboxes will have these symbols in place of the checkbox in the editor: [o]. If the box should be checked, replace the o with x so that the symbol looks like this: [x}. When converted to a PDF, the plan will reflect a checked or unchecked checkbox based on the symbol listed in the editor. Adding additional rows to tables: If you need to add additional rows to a table, use your mouse to right-click on the bottom row of the table, go to Row and then click on Insert Row After.

6 Expanding the Editing Screen: To make the editing window bigger, you can click on the arrow in the bottom right-hand corner and drag the window to a bigger size. Additional Feature: Chapter 13 Time Tracker With NextChapter 13 Plan Package, you can automatically track time spent on Chapter 13 cases. The timer will start tracking as soon as you start working in the case and a total is provided at the bottom timer, making is easy for client billing.

7 Additional Feature: Chapter 13 Receipts To better help your clients understand their Chapter 13 plan, NextChapter provides a Chapter 13 Receipt which breaks down all claims and treatment in a simple and easy to read PDF.
