Who is the Bankruptcy Trustee?

When you get involved with bankruptcy proceedings, you hear a lot about the “trustee”. The bankruptcy trustee plays a critical role in bankruptcy, so it is important for you to understand who the bankruptcy trustee is and the bankruptcy trustee’s role in a bankruptcy case.  Generally speaking, the trustee is charged with administration of your bankruptcy case, including:

  • investigation of your assets;
  • review of your bankruptcy documents and financial documents;
  • conducting the Meeting of Creditors hearing;
  • collection and administration of estate property;
  • review of creditors claims; and
  • distributions to creditors.

For more detailed information about the role of the bankruptcy trustee in a bankruptcy case, please read the page about the bankruptcy trustee.

If you’re considering filing for bankruptcy, please reach out to our qualified team of attorneys.
