OPINION
I. INTRODUCTION
This case came before the court for confirmation of the chapter 13 plan filed by Karen L. Jensen (“the Debtor”). The Debtor’s brother, James Froio (“James”) — a creditor who did not file a timely proof of claim — is the sole remaining objector to his sister’s plan. James asserts both good faith and feasibility objections to confirmation. At bottom, his position is animated by his conviction that the Debtor is not among the individuals whom Congress intended be permitted to obtain a fresh start through the bankruptcy process. Characterizing the Debtor as a “high-end retailer’s best friend,” he argues that his sister’s “determination to experience the good life without the requisite resources” resulted in frenetic spending and the mismanagement of her own as well as her mother’s finances- — practices he contends were carried out at his expense and are indicia of bad faith warranting the *214denial of confirmation.1 He also urges the court to find that the Debtor’s chapter 13 plan is not confirmable because certain provisions lack feasibility and, indeed, constitute “pure fantasy.”2
Consolidated with confirmation was a hearing on the chapter 13 Trustee’s Motions to Dismiss this case and trial of an adversary proceeding the Debtor initiated against James, docketed at Adv. No. 05-530 (“the Adversary Proceeding”). In the Adversary Proceeding, the Debtor has requested a determination that she is the sole owner of her home in Haverford, Pennsylvania (“the Booth Lane Property”),3 notwithstanding the fact that she and James are both listed as co-owners on the recorded deed and accompanying mortgage. The Debtor’s chapter 13 plan envisions a refinancing or sale of the home to generate funds to satisfy, in part, the claims of the Debtor’s creditors. Thus, the identity of the “true” owner or owners of the property affects the Debtor’s ability to implement her plan.4
The contested matter arising from the objections to confirmation and the Adversary Proceeding regarding ownership rights in the Debtor’s residence require that I resolve issues concerning “party in interest” standing for the purposes of objecting to plan confirmation, the application of the resulting trust doctrine in Pennsylvania and the meaning of “good faith” in the chapter 13 confirmation context.
As detailed below, I conclude that:
(1) The Trustee’s Motions to Dismiss will be denied.
(2) James holds title in the Booth Lane Property in a resulting trust in the Debtor’s favor and the Debtor is the sole beneficial owner of that property-
(3) James has standing to object to the confirmation of the Debtor’s chapter 13 plan on the grounds that the plan does not satisfy the requirements of 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(3) and (6).
(4) James’ objections to confirmation will be overruled.
(5) Nonetheless, the Debtor’s plan cannot be confirmed because it does not comply with 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(4).
(6) The Debtor will be granted leave to file an amended plan to cure the § 1325(a)(4) defect.5
II. BACKGROUND
A. The Debtor’s Family History
Before reviewing the Debtor’s chapter 13 plan, the objections James has asserted to confirmation of that plan and the dispute between the Debtor and James that gave rise to the Adversary Proceeding, it is helpful to review the Debtor’s family history. The disputes before me all arise from this history and, in particular, the Debtor’s handling of the financial affairs of her mother, Anne Froio (“Mrs. Froio”).
The Debtor, a widow, currently resides in the Booth Lane Property, a five-bedroom townhouse. Also living in the prop*215erty are with the Debtor’s son Andrew (aged 16), daughter Lauren (aged 21), and 58-year-old brother Steven Froio (“Steven”).6 (N.T., 2/12/07, 66, 84-86, 167, 192).
The Debtor purchased the Booth Lane Property approximately five years ago, signing a mortgage and taking title to the property jointly with James, a brother with whom she does not live and with whom she has subsequently developed a fractious relationship.7 Beneficial ownership of this property — the Debtor’s main asset in her bankruptcy — is a matter of dispute between the Debtor and James and is the subject of the Adversary Proceeding. Additionally, as stated earlier, James objects to the confirmation of his sister’s chapter 13 plan.
For many years, the Debtor’s mother, Mrs. Froio (now age 86), also lived with the Debtor, both at the Booth Lane Property and at a prior address. (N.T., 2/12/07, 63, 66). Mrs. Froio began living with her daughter in 1994 when Mrs. Froio was approximately 74 years old.8 (N.T., 2/12/07, 63, 74). The Debtor assisted her mother with bathing, medications, meals and the tasks of daily living. (N.T., 2/12/07, 66). A former English teacher, Mrs. Froio receives a pension as well as Social Security benefits. (N.T., 2/12/07, 72). With Mrs. Froio’s approval, the Jensen/Froio family established a practice of pooling their financial resources, including Mrs. Froio’s income, to meet household expenses. (N.T., 2/12/07, 81-82).9 With respect to this income, Mrs. Froio’s intended that “[w]e live on it, as a family.” (N.T., 12/8/06, 76).
Mrs. Froio’s health declined over the years. She has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease10 and macular degeneration. By the time she came to hve at the Booth Lane Property in 2002, she was blind. (N.T., 2/12/07, 66). In 2003, Mrs. Froio entrusted the Debtor with a power of attorney that included, among other things, authority to manage Mrs. Froio’s finances.
In June 2004, Mrs. Froio’s health worsened to the point that she became a resident of the Mary J. Drexel nursing facility (“Mary Drexel”). (N.T., 2/12/07, 68-69). While the Debtor’s expectations in 2004 were that Mrs. Froio’s health would im*216prove sufficiently to permit her to rejoin the family at the Booth Lane Property, Mrs. Froio continues to reside at Mary Drexel today. (N.T., 2/12/07, 71).
Problematically, despite Mrs. Froio’s change in residence, the Debtor continued the practice of pooling the Jensen/Froio income to meet household expenses and did not pay the bill for Mrs. Froio’s care at Mary Drexel. This led Mary Drexel to file a state court lawsuit against the Debtor, Mrs. Froio and her three brothers (“the State Court Collection Action”), seeking to hold them liable for paying for the care Mary Drexel rendered to Mrs. Froio.11 Mary Drexel based the State Court Collection Action against the Debtor and her three brothers on, inter alia, a Pennsylvania statute that requires children to pay for the care and maintenance of their indigent parents.12 See 62 Pa. Stat. Ann § 1973, repealed 2005 Pa. Laws 196, No. 43, § 3 (July 7, 2005); 23 Pa.Cons.Stat. Ann. § 4603 (enacted July 7, 2005).
In addition to caring for Mrs. Froio, the Debtor has also been committed to the care of her daughter Lauren, who has special needs. Lauren has been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, social anxiety disorder, agoraphobia and depression. (N.T., 2/12/07, 176-77). Her medical and psychiatric conditions require distinctive care.13 Lauren’s agoraphobia is of such severity that she rarely leaves home.14 Her agoraphobia has also placed restrictions on the Debtor’s ability to embark upon her career as a tutor full-time.15 The Debtor assists Lauren with bathing, food preparation and most other aspects of daily living. (N.T., 2/12/07, 177). Lauren’s medical bills have averaged $500 a month. (N.T., 2/12/07,184).
In addition to caring for her children and Mrs. Froio, the Debtor has also provided her brother Steven, with whom she currently lives, financial assistance over the years. Steven, who was unemployed for several years, testified that the Debtor loaned him a total of $30,000 between July 2002 and November 2004 to help him meet his living expenses. (N.T., 2/12/07, 195).
Against this backdrop, and facing the threat of foreclosure proceedings against the Booth Lane Property due to a substantial delinquency on the mortgage, see Part C., infra, the Debtor filed her chapter 13 petition on November 1, 2004.16
*217B. The Debtor’s Assets
The Debtor’s home, the Booth Lane Property, is the main asset in this bankruptcy case.17 In the schedules the Debtor filed on November 11, 2004, she valued the Booth Lane Property at $570,000. (See Schedule A). There was testimony at the confirmation hearing about a neighboring town home, of potentially lesser value,18 selling for $700,000, albeit, in a “unique situation.”19 (N.T., 2/12/07, 87). The Debtor purchased the Booth Lane Property in 2002 for $568,000. (N.T., 2/12/07, 61-62).
C. The Debtor’s Liabilities
In addition to being her main asset, the Booth Lane Property is also the source of the Debtor’s largest and only secured debt.20 Option One Mortgage Corporation (“Option One”), the company that financed the mortgage on the Booth Lane Property, has filed a proof of claim for $488,854.33, including $57,587.36 in arrearages. Preventing foreclosure on the Booth Lane Property was the Debtor’ primary motivation for filing for bankruptcy protection. (N.T., 2/12/07, 48).
Besides the Option One debt, the Debtor has also disclosed 16 creditors (some of which she designated “disputed”) holding unsecured, nonpriority claims, for a total unsecured debt of $179,301.17. (See Amended Schedule F). This includes a $20,000 personal loan from her brother James (See Schedule F, filed 11/21/04) and $106,978.87 based on a default judgment Mary Drexel obtained post-petition against the Debtor in the State Court Collection Action. (See Amended Schedule F, filed 11/8/05). Some time subsequent to the Debtor’s disclosure of the Mary Drexel post-petition judgment, the judgment was vacated.21 The Debtor has not disclosed *218any creditors with unsecured priority claims. (See Schedule E).
D. The Debtor’s Income and Expenses
On the Current Income schedule the Debtor filed on November 11, 2004, she stated that she had been self-employed as a tutor for four months and that her monthly income was $2,600. (See Schedule I, 11/11/04). To that figure, she added Social Security ($2,692) and pension income ($90.36)22 and $2,000 for “Mother’s Contribution to Household” to arrive at total combined monthly income of $7,382.36. (See id.).
On October 28, 2005, she amended her Current Income schedule, subtracting her personal monthly income of $2,600 (she stated that she was employed seasonally and was “ready to begin again”) and deleting Mrs. Froio’s contributions to household. (See Amended Schedule I, 10/28/05).
On February 7, 2007, the Debtor submitted a second amended Current Income schedule, again apparently designed to update her financial situation (rather than correct historical data concerning her income as of the date of her petition). In the Amended Schedule I filed on February 7, 2007, the Debtor disclosed that she is unemployed and that her Social Security income has been reduced to $1,440.23 The Debtor also added back in “Mother’s Contribution to Household” of $2,000 to arrive at a total monthly income of $3,440. Against this figure, her Amended Schedule J discloses current monthly expenditures of $3,380. (See Amended Schedule J).24
E. The Debtor’s Seventh Amended Chapter 13 Plan
The chapter 13 plan the Debtor has submitted for confirmation — i.e., the Seventh Amended Chapter 13 Plan (“the 7th Amended Plan”) — is the eighth plan she has filed with the court. While the Debt- or’s initial plan envisioned a scenario whereby the Debtor would retain and continue to make payments on the debts secured by the Booth Lane Property and her Chrysler Sebring, by the time the Debtor filed her Third Amended Plan on March 14, 2006, she was committed to trying to refinance or sell the Booth Lane Property and had surrendered the automobile. Except with respect to minor variations in the payment amounts to be made to the Trustee, the terms of her plans subsequent to the Second Amended Plan have not differed materially.
The 7th Amended Plan:
1. Requires that she pay the Trustee $750 a month through February 2007 *219and $50 thereafter until the Booth Lane Property is sold or refinanced, at which time payments will cease, or for the remaining 10 months of the plan, beginning in March 2007.
2. Provides that, within 60 days after confirmation, the Debtor will refinance the mortgage on the Booth Lane Property in her name only, relieving James of his co-indebtedness on the mortgage, and paying off Option One in full. In consideration for her brother’s agreement to and cooperation in this transaction, the Debtor proposes to pay her brother $20,000 from the proceeds of the refinancing.25
3. Provides that, in the event the Debt- or cannot accomplish a refinancing, within 180 days after confirmation of a plan, the Debtor and her brother James shall sign an agreement of sale for the Booth Lane Property for not less than $600,000, “with half the proceeds to be distributed to the estate of the Debtor and half to be distributed according to the outcome of [the adversary involving the Debtor and her brother’s rights to the Booth Lane Property].” The proceeds are expected to be sufficient to pay Option One in full.
4. Provides that, if an agreement to sell the Booth Lane Property is not signed within 180 days from the date of confirmation, the Debtor’s case will be subject to dismissal upon the motion of any interested party.
5. Classifies claimants into five groups:
a. Class One priority claims are administrative expenses, which the Debtor expects to consist of the Trustee’s commissions and attorneys’ fees.
b. Class Two secured claims consist of Option One’s mortgage claim on the Booth Lane Property.
c. Class Three claims include the claims of Gene Mitchell and Edward Abel, two creditors who had judicial liens that the Debtor avoided in this bankruptcy.
d. Class Four is defined to encompass Chrysler whose claims the Debtor assumes are satisfied by the surrender of the Sebring.
e. Class Five includes all other allowed claims.
6.Provides for payment of Class One and Two claims in full from the sale or refinancing of the Booth Lane Property and for the pro rata payment of Class Three and Five claims in full, if proceeds so permit.
See Debtor’s 7th Amended Chapter 13 Plan (filed 2/12/07).
F. Filing of Claims
The § 341 creditors’ meeting was held and concluded on January 5, 2005. The deadline for filing proofs of claim was April 5, 2005 (“the Bar Date”). See Rule 3002(c). As of May 31, 2007, the claims register for this case reflects the following:

G. The Trustee’s Motions to Dismiss
The Trustee filed a Motion to Dismiss this case on four (4) occasions: (1) February 11, 2005 (asserting a failure to provide required documentation as to income and/or property valuation and/or insurance coverage); (2) March 14, 2005 (asserting a failure to provide income documentation and payments to the Trustee); (3) April 18, 2005 (asserting a failure to file a Certificate of Business of Debtor and lack of plan feasibility); and (4) August 30, 2005 (asserting a failure to file monthly operating reports) (collectively, “the Motions”).
By the February 12, 2007 confirmation hearing, however, the Debtor’s counsel told the court that the Debtor had either satisfied the Trustee’s concerns (by rectifying the missed payments to the Trustee that had been mailed by the Debtor’s counsel, but lost in the mail)30 or that they were ,no longer applicable given the Debt- or’s lack ' of current employment. The Trustee did not disagree with the Debtor’s counsel and presented no evidence at the confirmation hearing in support of the Motions. Accordingly, I will deny the Motions.
H. The Confirmation Hearing and Trial of the Adversary Proceeding
The confirmation hearing took place on December 8, 2006, and February 12, 2007.31 Trial of the Adversary Proceeding concerning ownership of the Booth Lane Property was consolidated with the confirmation hearing. The Debtor and James both offered witnesses and documentary evidence in support of their positions.32
*221I. James Froio’s Objections to the Confirmation of the 7th Amended Plan
The Debtor listed her brother James as a creditor on Schedule F of her original bankruptcy schedules filed on November II, 2004. The docket reflects that he was served with notice of the § 341 hearing on December 18, 2004. See Docket Entry No. 14. That notice informed him of the April 5, 2005 Bar Date. Id.
James was served with the Complaint in the Adversary Proceeding by first class mail on August 25, 2005. He filed an Answer to the Complaint on October 7, 2005.33 He has participated actively in the main bankruptcy case since November 21, 2005, when he filed Objections to the Debt- or’s Amended Chapter 13 Plan. Notwithstanding, James never filed a proof of claim.
James’ objections to confirmation of the Debtor’s plan are that the plan:
• improperly divests him of his share of the Booth Lane Property;
• is infeasible;
• seeks to discharge an existing debt to Mary Drexel for services provided to Mrs. Froio and makes no future provision for the care of Mrs. Froio;34 and
• was not filed in good faith.35
*222In support of these asserted legal conclusions, James contends that the Debtor misappropriated income from Mrs. Froio that should have been used to pay Mary Drexel, thereby exposing him to potential liability in the State Court Collection Action and that the Debtor has also exposed him to liability with respect to the Booth. Lane Property mortgage.
J. Summary of the Evidence Presented at the Confirmation Hearing and Trial of the Adversary Proceeding
With these objections and resolution of the adversary at issue, the testimony at the confirmation hearing and adversary necessarily focused heavily on the provisions of the 7th Amended Plan, the Debt- or’s spending practices, her handling of Mrs. Froio’s finances, the non-payment of Mary Drexel’s prepetition bills, the circumstances leading up to the purchase of the Booth Lane Property and the reasons for the inclusion of James’ name on the mortgage and deed.
1. Testimony with Respect to the 7th Amended Plan
The Debtor testified that she intends to pay her administrative expenses, secured creditor (Option One), and, on a pro rata basis, those creditors holding allowed, unsecured nonpriority claims. The primary source of these payments will be the net proceeds from the sale or refinancing of the Booth Lane Property, plus the modest monthly payments the Debtor has and will continue to make ,to the Trustee. ^ ,
The Debtor said she first started discussing the possibility of refinancing her existing mortgage with finance companies in January 2006. (N.T., 2/12/07, 52-53). She stated that one particular company, Franklin Financial, has a program that would permit her to “buy down” her debt, re-establish credit and relieve her brother, James, from his obligation on the mortgage. (N.T., 2/12/07, 53).36 She testified that if she accomplished a refinancing, she would like to use $20,000 of the proceeds to repay a personal loan she received from her brother James. (N.T., 2/12/07, 53).37
If the Debtor cannot accomplish a refinancing, then within 180 days of confirmation, she intends to sign an agreement of sale for the Booth Lane Property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 56). She believes that an adjudication of the Adversary Proceeding that she filed against James is needed to accomplish this goal as the Adversary Proceeding will define ownership rights in the *223Booth Lane Property and, if necessary, provide authorization for the refinance or sale transaction.38
With respect to the pre-petition bills from Mary Drexel for Mrs. Froio’s care, the Debtor’s plan makes provision for the payment of unsecured, allowed claims. The Debtor has withdrawn her earlier objection to Mary Drexel’s claim and the Trustee has not objected to its allowance. Mary Drexel will therefore be accorded Class Five treatment and is entitled to receive a distribution along with other creditors who hold allowed unsecured claims.
As to her current source of income, the Debtor testified that she receives Social Security benefits — ¿a, survivor’s benefits on account of a minor child, her son, Andrew. She has also applied for new Social Security benefits for Lauren, who is considered a disabled adult, and is awaiting a ruling on that application. (N.T., 2/12/07, 155). Additionally, the Debtor plans to resume tutoring, for which she typically receives $100 to $125 an hour. (N.T., 2/12/07, 323).
2. Testimony With Respect to the Debtor’s Financial Management
The Debtor testified at some length concerning the way in which she managed her own and Mrs. Froio’s finances prior to filing her bankruptcy petition in November 2004.
James’ counsel questioned the Debtor’s spending practices and financial management, particularly in 2003, one year prior to the filing of her bankruptcy petition. The Debtor’s accounts reflected recurring overdraft and insufficient fund charges. (N.T., 2/12/07, 125-26). Additionally, the Debtor conceded that she had received approximately $36,000 in July 2003 following the sale of the Orchard Way property and that by the end of September 2003, had less than $800 left in her account. (N.T., 2/12/07, 93-97). The Debtor also admitted to having made several purchases from her account in August and September of 2003 at luxury retailers.39 The Debtor testified that she made some of these purchases for friends and was reimbursed for the purchases, (see, e.g., N.T., 2/12/07, at 101).40 Finally, James’ counsel also questioned the Debtor’s judgment in choosing a $1,000 a month rental car during the pendency of her bankruptcy following the surrender of her Chrysler Sebring. (N.T., 2/12/07, 119-20).41 The Debtor testified that she required the use of a car, could not afford to buy one, and that her brother, Steven, with whom she lives, actu*224ally bore the cost of the rental ear, having reimbursed her in cash for the amount she paid in lieu of paying her rent. (N.T., 2/12/07,120-21,151). Steven corroborated the Debtor’s testimony on this point. (N.T., 2/12/07, at 193-95).
The Debtor also was questioned about how she handled her mother’s income. The Debtor testified that she and her mother have been pooling financial resources since 1989. (N.T., 2/12/07, 81). Mrs. Froio similarly testified that she intended for her income to be pooled with the Jensen income and used for the family’s combined expenses. (N.T., 12/8/06, 76, 78). Mrs. Froio said she gave the Debtor her power of attorney so that the Debtor can do what she thinks is right. (N.T., 1/4/07, 10). Essentially, Mrs. Froio stated that she was completely satisfied with her daughter’s judgment in using the income under her control for the benefit of the family.42
3. Testimony with Respect to the Booth Lane Property Ownership and Payment of the Mortgage in “Year Two”
Several witnesses — the Debtor, Andrew Froio, Lauren Froio, Steven and James— testified about the circumstances leading up to and following the purchase of the Booth Lane Property, testimony relevant to the Adversary Proceeding the Debtor filed to define the ownership rights of James and the Debtor concerning the property.
The Debtor testified that, following her husband’s death in December 2001, she found it traumatic to continue living in the Orchard Way home in which he passed away. (N.T., 2/12/07, 76). She first looked at places to rent before deciding to purchase a home in an attempt to gain equity in a property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 76). She obtained approximately $360,000 in insurance proceeds related to her husband’s death. However, she had not worked outside the home for several years. (N.T., 2/12/07, 77). She needed someone to help her secure a mortgage. (N.T., 2/12/07, 76-77). Eventually, James agreed to assist his sister by jointly applying for financing. In effect, the Debtor and James agreed that James would “lend” the Debtor his credit rating by appearing jointly with her on the mortgage and the title, while the Debtor would put up all of the money for the property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 77). The Debtor did not intend James to have any beneficial interest in the Booth Lane Property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 79).
The Booth Lane Property was purchased for $563,000. (N.T., 2/12/07, 62). The Debtor paid the entire down payment and closing costs on the Booth Lane Property, totaling approximately $150,000. (N.T., 2/12/07, 77). The Debtor also made mortgage payments through December 2003. (N.T., 2/12/07, 79). When the mortgage was first paid, it was paid out of a joint account titled in the name of both the Debtor and James. (N.T., 2/12/07, 127, 273). However, James did not contribute any of the money placed in the joint account.43 The Debtor also was solely responsible for making repairs and upgrades to the property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 80). These improvements and upgrades include the installation of a chair lift to permit Mrs. Froio to ambulate the stairs, (N.T., 2/12/07, 67), and the addition of fireplaces *225and a built-in table in the kitchen. (N.T., 2/12/07, 88).
James’ testimony and the Debtor’s testimony concerning their respective intentions with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Booth Lane Property were consistent in all material respects. James testified that the Debtor told him in the spring of 2002, that she wanted to move from the Orchard Way property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 265). James says the Debtor asked him if he would assist her in obtaining a mortgage because she had no credit history, a prior bankruptcy and no recent employment. (N.T., 2/12/07, 265). James agreed to assist his sister. (N.T., 2/12/07, 267). James acknowledged that by doing so, he did not intend to obtain any beneficial ownership in the Booth Lane Property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 267). He never made any mortgage payments. (N.T., 2/12/07, 289). Additionally, whereas James took a mortgage deduction on his federal income taxes one year, he provided the refund check to the Debtor. (N.T., 2/12/07, 275).
Significantly, the parties’ testimony diverged only with respect to how the mortgage was to be paid after the first year of monthly payments (“Year Two”). The Debtor testified that James had offered to pick up the mortgage payments in 2003 (ie., in Year Two) and did not do so. (N.T., 2/12/07, 78). She testified that instead, he breached his promise to her and told her, in 2003, that if she could not make the mortgage payments, she should put the Booth Lane Property up for sale. (N.T., 2/12/07, 78-79). Andrew, Lauren and Steven Froio all testified that they were present during conversations between the Debtor and James with respect to the purchase of the Booth Lane Property and that they heard James agree to be responsible for paying the mortgage in Year Two. (N.T., 2/12/07, 170, 175, 181, 203).
In contrast, James testified that he and the Debtor agreed that after two (2) years, she would take over the mortgage herself and, if she did not have the necessary income, she would sell the property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 266-67). He denied that he ever agreed to pay the mortgage. (N.T., 2/12/07, 268). In fact, he lost his job during the month the Booth Lane Property was purchased. (N.T., 2/12/07, 269-70). Finally, he testified that there were no other witnesses to his discussions with the Debtor about buying the Booth Lane Property — the conversations were not conducted in person, but by telephone. (N.T., 2/12/07, 268).
James also testified about the harm he contends the Debtor has caused him. James is employed as a database administrator for the Department of Justice where he requires security or top security clearances to continue his work or to branch into doing work for the Army. (N.T., 2/12/07, 258-59). James testified that in the Fall of 2003, he had security clearance withheld because of nonpayment of the debt he owes as co-obligor on the Option One mortgage on the Booth Lane Property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 259). If his current application for top secret clearance is denied, James stated that he will have to leave his current position and job opportunities will be limited. (N.T., 2/12/07, 262). James has also been named as a defendant in the Mary Drexel State Court Collection Action. (N.T., 2/12/07, 284-85). James testified that because the Debtor has caused him “considerable damage,” he believes he deserves compensation in the form of profits from the sale of the Booth Lane Property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 292, 307, 308).
III. DISCUSSION
Section 1325(a) of the Bankruptcy Code requires a bankruptcy court to confirm a *226proposed chapter 13 plan if the six criteria set forth in that subsection are satisfied. See 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a);44 In re Norwood, 178 B.R. 683, 686 (Bankr.E.D.Pa.1995).
James has raised good faith and other objections to the confirmation of the Debt- or’s plan. However, at the confirmation hearing and again in post-hearing briefing, the Debtor has argued that James lacks standing to object to her plan because he did not file a proof of claim. Therefore, as a threshold issue, I must consider whether James has standing be heard with respect to confirmation.
A. Standing
Section 1324 of the Bankruptcy Code says that any “party in interest” may object to the confirmation of a chapter 13 plan. 11 U.S.C. § 1324. The Code does not define this term, but courts in this district have generally construed it to include anyone “whose pecuniary interest is directly affected by the bankruptcy proceeding.” See In re Kressler, 2001 WL 919860, at *2 (E.D.Pa. Aug.9, 2001) (citing In re Aronson, 1994 WL 497541, at *6 (E.D.Pa. Sept.12, 1994)), aff'd, 40 Fed. Appx. 712, 2002 WL 1723885 (3d Cir. July 25, 2002) (non-precedential opinion). The Court of Appeals has instructed that courts must determine whether an entity or individual is a “party in interest” on a case by case basis. In re Amatex, 755 F.2d 1034, 1042 (3d Cir.1985) (in chapter 11 context).
1. James Froio’s Standing
There are at least two potential bases upon which to find that James has standing to object to confirmation — (1) as owner of an asserted half interest in the Booth Lane Property, proceeds from the sale or refinancing of which are expected to pay the lion’s share of the Debtor’s disclosed liabilities and (2) as an unsecured creditor with unfiled claims arising from four (4) distinct sources: (a) damages arising from the Debtor’s breach of the alleged promise to refinance the Booth Lane Property mortgage in Year Two; (b) potential claims against the Debtor arising from his status as a co-obligor on the Option One mortgage;45 (c) the alleged $20,000 personal loan; and (d) his exposure to liability in the Mary Drexel State Court Collection Action as a result of the Debtor’s alleged, prepetition mishandling of her mother’s funds.
a. James Froio’s Asserted Rights as an Alleged Co-Owner in the Booth Lane Property
James argues that he has standing to object to confirmation of the Debtor’s plan because he is the beneficial co-owner of real property — ie., the Booth Lane Property — that the Debtor intends to sell or refinance to pay her disclosed debts. The Debtor disputes that James has any ownership interest in the Booth Lane Property. The Debtor contends that James holds only bare legal title in the Booth Lane Property' — ie., that James holds his share *227of title subject to a resulting trust for his sister’s benefit.
Generally speaking, nonbankruptcy law defines the nature, scope and extent of property rights that become part of the bankruptcy estate. See Butner v. United States, 440 U.S. 48, 55, 99 S.Ct. 914, 918, 59 L.Ed.2d 136 (1979). To determine whether James holds title in the Booth Lane Property subject to a resulting trust in favor of the Debtor, I apply Pennsylvania law. See In re Stewart, 368 B.R. 445, 450 & n. 9 (Bankr.E.D.Pa.2007) (citing In re Orion Refining Corp., 341 B.R. 476 (Bankr.D.Del.2006)).
Pennsylvania has adopted the Restatement (Second) of Trusts § 440 (American Law Institute 1959) (“Restatement 2d”) with respect to purchase-money resulting trusts. See, e.g., Masgai v. Masgai 460 Pa. 453, 458, 333 A.2d 861, 864 (1975); Purman v. Johnston, 343 Pa. 647, 649, 22 A.2d 722, 723-4 (1941). Via this doctrine, Pennsylvania courts infer that where one party provides consideration for the purchase of land legally held by another, the purchaser intended the purchase to inure to his or her own benefit and that there is some other reason that title was placed in the name of another. “This rule is based upon an inference that the ‘purchaser does not intend that the transferee should have the beneficial interest in the property, but that the purchaser himself shall have the beneficial interest.’ ” Masgai 460 Pa. at 458, 333 A.2d at 864 (quoting Restatement 2d, Introductory Note to Topic 4, at 391). A purchase-money resulting trust does not arise, however, if the person who paid the purchase price manifests an intention that no resulting trust arise. Masgai 460 Pa. at 458, 333 A.2d at 864.
Recognition of a purchase-money resulting trust effectuates what the law presumes to have been the parties’ intentions in the circumstances — ie., that the person to whom the land was conveyed holds title as a trustee for the person who paid for the property. Consequently, courts focus on two essential elements in analyzing purported purchase-money resulting trusts: (1) the payment of consideration and (2) the intention of the person furnishing the consideration at the time of the conveyance.
The party seeking to establish a resulting trust has the burden of proving the facts alleged to give rise to such a trust. This burden of proof is exacting— the law requires clear, direct, precise and convincing evidence. See, e.g., Masgai 460 Pa. at 460, 333 A.2d at 865; Fenderson v. Fenderson, 454 Pa.Super. 412, 423, 685 A.2d 600, 605 (1996); Mermon v. Mermon, 257 Pa.Super. 228, 234, 390 A.2d 796, 799 (1978). Once a party claiming a resulting trust meets the initial burden of showing that she paid consideration at the time of purchase the burden of going forward then shifts to the holder/grantee of the property’s legal title who must rebut the presumption that it was the payor’s intention that the grantee hold title for the payor’s benefit. See Restatement 2d § 441.
Based upon the record in this case, and applying the heightened standard of proof, I find that the Debtor has met her burden in establishing a resulting trust and that James has not rebutted the evidence that supports such a trust.
The evidence regarding the Debtor’s intentions at the time the Booth Lane Property was purchased is unequivocal. While the Debtor and James may disagree with respect to whether James had offered to gift mortgage payments to the Debtor in Year Two, they do not disagree with respect to the initial intentions in purchasing the property. See Mermon, 257 Pa.Super. *228at 234, 390 A.2d at 798 (“it is the intention of the payor at the time of the transfer and not at some subsequent time which determines whether a resulting trust arises”) (citing Restatement 2d § 443, Comment a., at 404). Both the Debtor and James intended that the Debtor have full beneficial interest in the property and that James have no beneficial interest. (N.T., 2/12/07, 79, 267).46 James “loaned” his credit rating as an accommodation to the Debtor to help her obtain a mortgage. (N.T., 2/12/07, 76-77, 265-67). For that same reason, his name was included on title to the home. The Debtor paid the down payment, the closing costs and any mortgage payments that have been made. (N.T., 2/12/07, 77). James did not advance or pay any money with respect to the Booth Lane Property. (N.T., 2/12/07, 77).47
The Debtor’s and James’ subsequent behavior lends further support to this conclusion. Following the purchase of the Booth Lane Property, the Debtor lived there with her family, made improvements to the property (she added fireplaces, a built-in table and a chair lift) and was solely responsible for home repairs. James lived elsewhere and made no financial contributions to the upkeep or repair of the property. Nor did he pay the mortgage. Additionally, while James claimed a deduction on his income taxes for the Booth Lane mortgage, he provided the refund he received from that income tax return to his sister.
I am mindful of the presumption under Pennsylvania law that arises when a payor takes title to property in her name and in the name of another jointly&emdash; ie., the presumption that it was the pay- or’s intention to make a beneficial gift of an undivided interest in the property to the joint title holder. See Masgai, 460 Pa. at 459, 333 A.2d at 864. However, this presumption can be rebutted by evidence of a “different intention.” Masgai, 460 Pa. at 459-60, 333 A.2d at 864. The clear, decisive and unequivocal testimony was that the Debtor had no intention to make a gift to her brother.
Based on this evidence, I conclude that James holds his share of title to the Booth Lane Property subject to a resulting trust for the Debtor’s benefit. James holds no beneficial ownership interest in the prop*229erty. See, e.g., McHenry v. Stapleton, 443 Pa. 186, 278 A.2d 892 (1971) (where Staple-ton took legal title to property and executed a mortgage because McHenry could not get a mortgage himself and McHenry made all mortgage payments, paid property taxes and collected rents and intended to be beneficial owner, Stapleton held title in resulting trust for McHenry).
Because I conclude that James has no beneficial ownership interest in the Booth Lane Property, his property rights do not provide a basis upon which to confer standing to object to the confirmation of the Debtor’s plan. This conclusion also dictates that I grant the Debtor the relief that she seeks in the Adversary Proceeding: a declaration that she is the sole, beneficial owner of the Booth Lane Property.
b. James Froio As an Unsecured Creditor Who Did Not File A Proof of Claim
James’ status as an unsecured creditor who did not file a proof of claim, but whose unasserted claims will be discharged upon confirmation, provides another potential basis for his standing to object to confirmation of the 7th Amended Plan.48 See 11 U.S.C. § 1328(a).49
The Bankruptcy Code does not define “party in interest” and the reported cases that seek to define the phrase “party in interest” are not consistent. Some courts have construed the term narrowly to include only parties who hold an allowed claim.50 Other courts have interpreted the phrase more broadly.51
Another section of the Code, although not directly applicable to chapter 13 cases, provides guidance in understanding who Congress meant to encompass within the phrase “a party in interest.” Section 1109 of the Bankruptcy Code governs who has a right to be heard on issues arising in chapter 11 reorganizations. That section defines a “party in interest” to include, among others, a “creditor.” See, e.g., 11 U.S.C. § 1109(b) (including “the debtor, the trustee, a creditors’ committee, an equity security holders’ committee, a credi*230tor, an equity security holder or any indenture trustee” in the definition of a “party in interest” with the right to be heard on any issue in a chapter 11 case). The Code defines a “creditor” as an entity that has a claim against the debtor or the estate that arose at the time of or before the order for relief. 11 U.S.C. § 101(10). A “claim,” in turn, is defined as a “right to payment, whether or not such right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured....” 11 U.S.C. § 101(5). Pursuant to this analysis, James is a creditor of the Debtor’s estate.
In considering the scope of the term “party in interest,” I find it significant that Congress employed that broad term, rather than other, more limiting potential terms, such as “holder of an allowed claim” or “holder of a filed proof of claim” or “creditor.” As the court observed in In re Turpen, 218 B.R. 908 (Bankr.N.D.Iowa 1998), in ruling upon “party in interest” standing in the chapter 13 context:
In providing who might object to plans, Congress used the broad term “party in interest.” It did not restrict the filing of objections to creditors who hold allowed claims. Contra In re Stewart, 46 B.R. 73, 75 (Bankr.D.Or.1985). Nor does the status of creditor appear to hinge on the entity having filed a proof of claim. If it had so desired, Congress could have defined “creditor” in § 101(10) as an “entity that has a claim against the debtor that arose at the time or before the order for relief concerning the debtor, proof of which has been filed.” It did not. I find no requirement in the Code that status as a creditor depends on the filing of a claim. If it were otherwise, creditors in Chapter 7 cases could not meaningfully participate in no-asset cases without filing claims, even though the notice of bankruptcy advises that it is as yet unnecessary to file claims. See Fed. R.Bankr.P. 2002(e). For example, creditors in no-asset cases could not file objections to exemptions without filing proofs of claim. Fed. R.Bankr.P. 4003(b).
Id. at 911 (emphasis in original).52
I find the Turpén court’s analysis generally persuasive, subject to a further qualification. Importantly, “[a]n entity may be [a] real party in interest and have standing in one respect while he may lack standing in another respect.” In re Ofty Corp., 44 B.R. 479, 481 (Bankr.D.Del.1984). Thus, it is possible to conclude that the failure to file a proof of claim has the consequence of placing certain limitations on the arguments a creditor with standing can make without holding that the creditor lacks standing altogether to object to confirmation of a chapter 13 plan. More specifically, given the necessity of holding an “allowed claim” to receive a distribution under a confirmed plan, I find it logical to deny a creditor who has not filed a claim the right to object to confirmation on grounds related to the sufficiency of distribution under 11 U.S.C. § 1322(a)(4) and § 1325(b), but to permit such a creditor to raise other types of objections to confirmation that are not directly related to adequacy of the proposed distribution.
In this case, that James did not file a proof of claim does not eliminate his cur*231rent status as a creditor of the Debtor’s estate.53 I find that his status as creditor vests him with a practical stake in the outcome of this case: he has a pecuniary interest in ensuring that his claims against the Debtor are not discharged in a bankruptcy that he contends was not filed in good faith. As such, James has standing to assert that the 7th Amended Plan has not been filed in good faith, see 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(3). Also, he has standing to object to the feasibility of the 7th Amended Plan, 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(6).54
B. Whether the Debtor’s Plan was Proposed in Good Faith
1. Legal Principles to be Employed in Evaluating Good Faith
To be entitled to confirmation, a chapter 13 plan must have been “proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law.” 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(3). “Good faith” is a pervasive concept in the Bankruptcy Code and plays a role in the determination whether a chapter 13 plan may be confirmed. As observed in one commentary:
“Every bankruptcy statute since 1898 has incorporated literally, or by judicial interpretation, a standard of good faith for the commencement, prosecution, and confirmation of bankruptcy proceedings.” Little Creek Dev. Co. v. Commonwealth Mortgage Corp., 779 F.2d 1068, 1071 (5th Cir.1986) (citations omitted). It is said that the good faith requirement “prevents abuse of the bankruptcy process by debtors whose overriding motive is to delay creditors without benefitting them in any way or to achieve reprehensible purposes.” Id. at 1072. In other words, to avail oneself of the powerful equitable weapons of the Bankruptcy Code, debtors must enter the process with clean hands.
*232Leif M. Clark & Sharron B. Lane, Having Good Faith in Good Faith Analysis, 683 Commercial Law & Practice Course Handbook Series 669, 676 (1994).
Nonetheless, the Bankruptcy Code does not define what is meant by “good faith.” Nor does the legislative history shed any light on its intended meaning. One commentator suggests that, “[t]he controversy concerning the chapter 13 ‘good faith’ test has resulted in more litigation than any other issue to arise since the enactment of the Bankruptcy Code.” Bradley M. Elbein, The Hole in the Code: Good Faith and Morality in Chapter 13, 34 San Diego L.Rev. 439, 448 (May-June 1997) (“El-bein”) (quoting Conrad K. Cyr, The Chapter 13 “Good Faith” Tempest: An Analysis and Proposal For Change, 55 Am. Bankr.L.J. 271, 273 (1981)).55
Left with the task of constructing parameters around the amorphous concept of “good faith,” courts have considered differing laundry lists of subjective and objective factors as indicia of good or bad faith and have differed — at least in the pre-BAPCPA world — with respect to how broadly or narrowly they have defined the relevant conduct that should be included within their scrutiny of good faith. It is possible to divide the courts which have considered “good faith” objections to confirmation under § 1325(a) into two categories: (1) “plan good faith” courts — in which the courts strictly construe the text of § 1325(a)(3) and look only to the debt- or’s good faith or lack of good faith in proposing a plan — and (2) “broad good faith” courts — in which courts look not only to the debtor’s conduct in proposing the plan, but also to prepetition conduct, in assessing the debtor’s good faith or lack thereof. Elbein, 24 San Diego L.Rev. at 453-54 (collecting cases).
The Third Circuit has not yet passed upon the scope of the “good faith” language set forth § 1325(a)(3) or the factors that should be assessed in applying § 1325(a)(3) scrutiny.56 In this case, James’ argument is premised on the view that confirmation of a chapter 13 may be denied based on a “broad good faith” objection. I find it unnecessary to resolve this legal issue.57 As explained below, assuming arguendo that the Debtor’s prepet-ition conduct may be considered in determining an objection to confirmation under § 1325(a)(3), I find that the Debtor did not file this chapter 13 case in bad faith.
In determining the appropriate constructs to employ in deciding the good faith issue in this case, I have looked for guidance to Third Circuit’s decisions on good faith in related contexts. In the context of a motion to dismiss a chapter case, filed under 11 U.S.C. § 1307(c), the Court of Appeals has directed the lower courts to examine “good faith” on a case by case basis following a “totality of circum*233stances” test that includes consideration of the following circumstances:
the nature of the debt ...; the timing of the petition; how the debt arose; the debtor’s motive in filing the petition; how the debtor’s actions affected creditors; the debtor’s treatment of creditors both before and after the petition was filed; and whether the debtor has been forthcoming with the bankruptcy court and the creditors.
In re Lilley, 91 F.3d 491, 496 (3d Cir.1996). Certain courts within this district have also found these factors to be useful guides in the § 1325 context. See, e.g., In re Devine, 1998 WL 386380, at *12 (Bankr. E.D.Pa. July 7, 1998) (per Sigmund, J.) (applying Lilley factors to § 1325 analysis of good faith).
In connection with § 1325, the good faith inquiry essentially asks the court to pass judgment on whether the filing is fundamentally fair in a manner that complies with the spirit of the Bankruptcy Code’s provisions. Devine, at * 12;58 accord, In re Smith, 286 F.3d 461, 466 (7th Cir.2002).
In the chapter 7 context, the Court of Appeals has cautioned that the dismissal of a bankruptcy case for lack of good faith should be “confined carefully” and “generally utilized only in ... egregious cases....”59 I find the Court of Appeals’ instruction regarding the narrow application of the good faith concept in chapter 7 cases relevant as well in the chapter 13 confirmation context The dangers inherent in a broad application of the good faith doctrine must be considered regardless whether the context is dismissal of the entire case or only denial of confirmation. Broad application of the good faith doctrine creates a risk of judicial usurpation of the legislative power to determine the scope of and eligibility for bankruptcy relief in general or under a particular chapter. See, e.g., In re Johnson, 80 B.R. 953, 963 (Bankr.D.Minn.1987) (making the same observation in the chapter 7 dismissal context). There is also the danger that the court’s decision will lapse into an inquiry that “clothe[s] subjective moral judgments with the force of law.” Sarasota, Inc. v. Weaver, 2004 WL 2514290, at *4 (E.D.Pa. November 5, 2004) (quoting In re Woodman, 287 B.R. 589, 592 (Bankr.D.Me.2003), aff'd, 2003 WL 23709465 (D.Me. September 19, 2003) (relating to disposable income test for chapter 13 plan confirmation under § 1325(b)), aff'd, 379 F.3d 1 (1st Cir.2004)). Consequently, the jurisprudential concerns that have caused courts to treat dismissal of chapter 7 cases for lack of good faith as “a narrow doctrine, which should be employed only in extreme cases to protect the integrity of the bankruptcy system,” should be applicable in the chapter 13 con*234firmation context.60
Finally, the respective burdens with respect to good faith objections have been defined within our circuit. In this case, James has the initial burden of articulating a clear and cognizable good faith objection. Provided he meets that burden, the ultimate burden then shifts to the Debtor to persuade the court to overrule the objection and confirm the plan. See In re Fricker, 116 B.R. 431, 438 (Bankr. E.D.Pa.1990); see also In re Tamecki, 229 F.3d at 207 (articulating burden for dismissing chapter 7 petition).
It is with these principles in mind that I evaluate James’ good faith objection to confirmation of the 7th Amended Plan in this chapter 13 case.
2. The Debtor’s Prepetition Conduct
James’ good faith objections, while restated in varying ways, essentially focus upon the Debtor’s allegedly extravagant spending habits pre-bankruptcy, her intermingling of Mrs. Froio’s funds with her own and the perceived future harms that might obtain if the Debtor continues to possess a power of attorney with respect to her mother’s finances.
James does not mince words in stating his position. In his Post-Trial Memorandum, he asserts that from his perspective, the Debtor’s bankruptcy is evocative of the adage, “No good deed goes unpunished.” (Froio Memorandum of Law at 1). He complains that as his reward for assisting his sister with purchasing the Booth Lane Property, he earned “a mortgage foreclosure suit by Option One; a second suit by the Mary J. Drexel Home ...; a credit rating that is so devastated that he cannot get a loan to buy a badly needed, modest new car; [and] an ongoing threat to his employment because the claims against him have endangered his ‘secret’ clearance and prevented him from obtaining ‘top secret’ clearance.” (Froio Memorandum of Law, at 1-2).
I am sympathetic to James’ position. However, much of the detriment he claims to have suffered results from a garden variety breach of contract — i.e., breach of the alleged promise that the Debtor made to refinance or sell the Booth Lane Property within a limited time period after its purchase. Thus, the conventional remedy for this injury is the filing of a proof of claim. James did not pursue that route, but instead chose to present his claims as indicia that the Debtor’s plan was filed in bad faith. Consequently, I am constrained to review those assertions using the applicable legal standards for evaluating good faith in the § 1325 plan confirmation context and, ordinarily, the existence of a claim for breach of contract is not a basis for denying confirmation of a chapter 13 plan.
While the Debtor’s poor financial management and spending practices are troubling, and I do not condone those practices, I find that the Debtor’s behavior was the result of bad judgment, not bad faith. It must be borne in mind that one of the primary purposes of the bankruptcy discharge is to provide unfortunate debtors with a fresh start from accumulated debt and that, in providing a mechanism for this fresh start, Congress likely presumed that most, if not all, debtors who seek bankruptcy relief do so as a result of poor financial management. See In re Elmendorf 345 B.R. 486, 494 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y. *2352006) (citations omitted). If improvident financial decisions were the litmus for good faith, few debtors might pass. If courts routinely denied confirmation to debtors based solely on poor financial management and prepetition spending beyond their means, without a finding of any additional aggravating factors, the “good faith” inquiry would swallow the whole and contradict Congressional intent.
As I have previously determined in the Chapter 7 context, for a debtor’s spending habits to take on bad faith significance, ordinarily there must be some additional aggravating factors at issue, such as the debtor’s concealment of assets, falsification of records, transfer of assets beyond the reach of creditors or some other behavior designed to interfere with the “orderly judicial process for resolution of ... debt.” In re Glunk, 342 B.R. at 736; accord, Tamecki, 229 F.3d at 207 I find this to be equally true with respect to a good faith assessment of chapter 13 plans.
In this case, I do not find any of the aggravating factors to suggest that the Debtor filed her chapter 13 plan in bad faith. I do not find that the Debtor ran up debts in contemplation of bankruptcy. The Debtor did not conceal assets, engage in dubious transfers of assets, falsify or destroy books or records, or misstate the amount of her income. Most importantly, I find that her plan represents a good faith effort to meet her liabilities with her existing assets and is in the best interests of both her creditors and her family. The Debtor’s plan to sell her most valuable asset and devote its non-exempt value to payment of her debts is the most rational solution to the Debtor’s problems and offers the best possible outcome for the creditors as well.
With respect to the Debtor’s pooling of Mrs. Froio’s income with her own, I find that the Debtor and Mrs. Froio had pooled their income for a period of over ten years and did so with Mrs. Froio’s knowledge and consent. While the power of attorney that the Debtor signed in 2003 obligated the Debtor to keep Mrs. Froio’s funds separate from her own, I credit the Debt- or’s testimony that she believed that she was not running afoul of the law in continuing the prior practice of pooling money with Mrs. Froio to meet family expenses (N.T., 2/12/07, 159) and that she believed she acted in furtherance of Mrs. Froio’s intentions. The Debtor’s impression, although potentially erroneous with respect to her legal obligations as her mother’s power of attorney, was subjectively in good faith.61
Furthermore, I do not believe that the Debtor’s continuation of this practice following Mrs. Froio’s 2004 admission to Mary Drexel was part of an effort to thwart her creditors. Rather, I conclude that the Debtor continued this practice *236based on the hopes that Mrs. Froio’s stay at Mary Drexel would be brief and that she would soon return to the Booth Lane Property with her family. Finally, as noted above, the stay was lifted in Mrs. Froio’s chapter 7 bankruptcy, to permit Mary Drexel to petition the state court for the appointment of a financial guardian for Mrs. Froio. This should alleviate concerns regarding any future management of Mrs. Froio’s income.62
In sum, based upon my review of the record, including the witnesses’ testimony and post-hearing briefing, I do not find that the Debtor’s plan was filed in bad faith or is fundamentally unfair to the Debtor’s creditors or that it runs contrary to the spirit of the Bankruptcy Code.63 To the contrary, I find that in filing this case and proposing a plan the Debtor has acted in good faith and attempted to deal fairly with her outstanding debts.
3. Feasibility of the Debtor’s 7th Amended Plan
James also objects to the confirmation of his sister’s 7th Amended Plan on the grounds that it is infeasible or, as he puts it, is “pure fantasy.” (Froio Memorandum of Law at 4). James observes that the Debtor has not been employed steadily and that her ability to work is limited by Lauren’s psychological condition and care requirements. In view of these circumstances, he contends that no lender would agree to refinance the Booth Lane Property mortgage in the name of the Debtor alone.
Given the Debtor’s limited, current source of income and employment history, I, too, seriously question whether her goal of refinancing the Booth Lane Property in her name only is realistic. Nonetheless, I will not deny confirmation on that ground because that provision of her plan is essentially superfluous. If she cannot refinance under those terms, her 7th Amended Plan obligates her to sell the property within a limited time. The 7th Amended Plan also contains the requisite specificity with respect to the terms under which the Debtor proposes to market and sell the property, ie., the Debtor says that she will sign an agreement to sell the Booth Lane Property for not less than $600,000. Further, I am satisfied that the option of refinancing and the timeline for signing an agreement of sale have been properly circumscribed.64 Importantly, the plan also provides that if an agreement of sale is not signed within *237180 days after confirmation, the case is subject to dismissal. Accordingly, I am satisfied that her plan is workable. See generally In re Erickson, 176 B.R. 753 (Bankr.E.D.Pa.1995) (chapter 13 “sale” plan may be confirmed where the plan states the terms of and time period for contemplated sale and is specific as to remedies available to secured creditors if projected sale is unsuccessful).
Consequently, I overrule James’ good faith and feasibility objections to confirmation.65
C. The 7th Amended Plan Does Not Comply with 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(4)
There is one remaining aspect of the Debtor’s plan that requires discussion.
This issue arises from the 7th Amended Plan’s provision for a $20,000 payment to James, provided the Debtor is able to refinance the mortgage on the Booth Lane Property as contemplated.66 The 7th Amended Plan suggests that this $20,000 might come at the expense of proceeds otherwise due to the unsecured creditors who hold allowed claims. Because James has filed no proof of claim, no payment can be made to him with assets of the estate that are earmarked for distribution to creditors. See 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a)(4). Should the Debtor wish to obtain confirmation, she must file an amended plan that either deletes the reference to the $20,000 payment or makes clear that such payment will only be made to James from proceeds that are derived from either (1) the Debt- or’s exemptions or (2) monies reverting to the Debtor, if any, after payment of all allowed claims provided for under the plan.
IV. CONCLUSION
For the reasons set forth above, I deny the Trustee’s Motions to Dismiss, resolve the separately-filed adversary in the Debt- or’s favor (finding that the Debtor owns 100% beneficial interest in the Booth Lane Property), overrule James’ objections to confirmation of the Debtor’s 7th Amended Plan and deny confirmation of the Debtor’s plan with leave to file an Amended Chapter 13 Plan within a finite period of time.
An Order consistent with this Opinion will be entered.
ORDER
AND NOW, upon consideration of the Debtor’s 7th Amended Chapter 13 Plan (“the Plan”), the Trustee’s Motions to Dismiss Case (“the Motions”), the Objections to Confirmation of the Plan filed by James Froio (“the Objections”), and after a hearing on the Motions, a hearing on confirmation of the Plan and a trial of the above-captioned adversary proceeding, and for the reasons set forth in the accompanying Opinion, it is hereby ORDERED and DETERMINED that:
1. The Motions are DENIED.
*2382. The Objections are OVERRULED.
3. James Froio’s record ownership interest in the condominium unit located at 5 Booth Lane, No. 6, Haverford, PA 19041 is held in a resulting trust in favor of the Debtor and the Debtor is the sole beneficial owner of that property.
4. Confirmation of the Plan is DENIED.
5. The Debtor is GRANTED LEAVE to file and serve an 8th Amended Plan within ten (10) days from the entry of this Order.
6. A hearing on confirmation of any 8th Amended Plan which the Debtor may file shall be held on July 24, 2007 at 1:00 p.m. in Bankruptcy Courtroom No. 1, U.S. Courthouse, 900 Market Street, 2d floor, Philadelphia, PA 19107.
7. Should the Debtor fail to timely file an amended plan pursuant to ¶ 5 above, the court will consider dismissal of this bankruptcy case, sua sponte at the July 24, 2007 hearing, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1307(c)(1). E.g., Jablonski v. Internal Revenue Service, 204 B.R. 456, 458 (W.D.Pa.1996); In re Fricker, 116 B.R. 431, 442 (Bankr.E.D.Pa.1990); 4 Collier on Bankruptcy ¶ 1307.04, at 1301-11 (15th rev. ed.2006).
