What Does a Trustee Do?
In a consumer bankruptcy, the trustee is working for the benefit of the creditors. In effect, he or she represents the creditors to ensure that the debtor pays the proper amount of money. It is the trustee's job to collect the property in the bankruptcy estate, reduce the property to money and distribute it to the creditors.
To accomplish this task, the trustee must diligently investigate the financial affairs of the debtor. This is accomplished by holding a meeting where every debtor can be questioned by the trustee or other creditors. At this time, if it is appropriate, a creditor can oppose the discharging of debt in the bankruptcy.
Working With the Trustee
The trustee acts on behalf of the creditors to ensure you perform the necessary tasks in your bankruptcy. To obtain the debt relief you need, such as the discharging of credit card debt or medical expenses, it is important to work with the trustee. At our firm, we will work with you to cooperate with requests received from the trustee so your bankruptcy is completed as smoothly as possible.
