It's important to remember that if the debtor dies during the bankruptcy case then someone must be appointed by the bankruptcy court to act as "next friend" and, as such, to testify on behalf of the decedent. At least in New York, where I practice, the executor of the estate must still be separately qualified to act on the debtor's behalf in bankruptcy court. Excellent post, Reed.
