The BankruptcyTrustee

After filing for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court exercises control over your property and debts by appointing an official called a bankruptcy “trustee” to mange your case.  Your bankruptcy trustee’s name and contact information will be in the official notice of filing you receive in the mail several days after you file your bankruptcy petition.  The bankruptcy Trustee will examine your bankruptcy petition and other documents to make sure they are complete and look for property to sell for the benefits of your creditors.  The bankruptcy trustee’s primary job is to see that your creditors get paid as much as possible.  The bankruptcy Trustee is mostly interest in what you own and what property you claim as exempt from the bankruptcy, but will also look at your financial transaction during the previous year.

Bankruptcy Trustee’s receive a flat fee per Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy case they handle and the bankruptcy Trustee’s are entitled to a percentage of the funds the bankruptcy trustee distrubtes to the debtor’s creditors.
