What Do Bankruptcy Trustees Do?

Bankruptcy trustees play a crucial role in the bankruptcy process. They ensure that the proceedings run smoothly and fairly for all parties involved. Here's a closer look at their responsibilities.

1. Reviewing Paperwork: Trustees review all the bankruptcy documents you file. They verify the accuracy of your financial information and ensure everything is in order.

2. Managing Assets: Trustees manage and sell any non-exempt assets. The proceeds are used to pay off creditors as much as possible.

3. Conducting Meetings: Trustees conduct the 341 meeting, also known as the meeting of creditors. During this meeting, they ask you about your financial situation and your submitted documents.

4. Distributing Payments: Trustees are responsible for distributing payments to creditors. They prioritize payments according to the rules of bankruptcy law.

5. Ensuring Compliance: Trustees make sure you comply with all bankruptcy requirements. This includes attending required courses and submitting necessary paperwork.
