How do you convert a Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7?

Answer:
You have a right to convert a case, so all you have to do is file a Notice of Conversion. If your district has no rules about the form of the Notice, then you can just create a document with the typical caption, title it "Notice of Conversion of Chapter 13 Case to Chapter 7 Case" like this:
