As of June 1, 2019, the majority of the amendments are in effect, changing a number of technical parameters, but most importantly, they change the debt settlement procedure itself quite fundamentally.&#8211; Writing a bankruptcy petition.Debtors can no longer write their own proposals; they must use professionals. They can choose from bankruptcy trustees, notaries, lawyers, bailiffs, and certified non-profit organizations. The debtor may not charge more than SEK 4,000 excluding VAT for these services. For matrimonial bankruptcies, the maximum amount is SEK 6,000 excluding VAT.&#8211; Insolvency courtThis court is the court of the debtor\\&#8217;s place of residence. Said court shall, if the petition is justified, issue an order approving the bankruptcy and an order authorizing the bankruptcy. Based on this, a trustee in bankruptcy is assigned to the debtor.&#8211; Examination of claimsThe appointed trustee conducts the so-called examination of claims in accordance with the order. That is, he\/she prepares a report summarizing the personal, property, and income situation of the affected persons for the bankruptcy proceedings.&#8211; Approval OrderThe next point is for the court to issue an order approving the bankruptcy. This may be done through the realization of assets or through the implementation of a repayment plan that involves the realization of assets.&#8211; Determination of performanceUpon compliance with the program set after five years, or upon payment of 100% of the amount owed, or upon payment of at least 60% of the debt after three years of the program, or if the debtor is an old-age or disability pensioner, the court may order the debt relief performance, provided that every effort and contrivance has been made to fully satisfy the creditor.&#8211; Stay of ExecutionThereafter, all executions pending to date shall be stayed in accordance with the decision.
