Who is the Alaska Bankruptcy Trustee and Their Responsibilities?
Role of the Alaska Bankruptcy Trustee
The Alaska Bankruptcy Trustee is responsible for overseeing the entire administration of a bankruptcy case. In Alaska, there’s only one trustee to handle the different types of bankruptcy cases.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Cases:
- The trustee identifies which of the debtor’s assets are exempt and can liquidate any nonexempt assets. To know which assets are protected, it’s important to know the value of the asset(s) as well as the exemptions offered in the state.

- During the 341 meeting of creditors, the trustee conducts the hearing and asks the debtor basic questions. The bankruptcy judge is prohibited by the Bankruptcy Code from attending the creditors’ meeting.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Cases:
- The trustee reviews the debtor’s repayment plan.
- The trustee attends the 341 meeting, the Confirmation Hearing, and any other motions filed in the case. In Chapter 7 cases, there are no Confirmation Hearings.
