Post-confirmation trusts can certainly be a core feature of a chapter 11 plan to allow a debtor to promptly reenter the marketplace and enjoy its fresh start without the overhang of its chapter 11 case. Given its importance to the implementation of a plan, substantial planning and thought should be given to jurisdictional issues, as well as the rights and duties of a post confirmation trust from the outset in order to allow a post-confirmation trust to function as efficiently as possible. In order to properly address these issues, practitioners should give substantial consideration to and engage in substantial planning of these issues early on in the plan formulation and negotiation process to ensure the confirmation documents contain the necessary provisions to aid a post-confirmation trustee in performing their duties in an efficient and expedient manner.
