Contact Information for U.S. Bankruptcy Trustees in Alabama
Welcome to the Bankruptcy Trustees Contact Information Page for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court District of Alabama. There are three districts in Alabama: Northern, Middle, and Southern. The contact information for each district in the Alabama Bankruptcy Court is listed below.
What is the Role of a Bankruptcy Trustee
The trustee oversees the administration of the bankruptcy case from start to finish. In Chapter 7 cases, the trustee determines which of the debtor’s assets are exempt and any nonexempt assets can be liquidated.
At the 341 meeting of creditors, the bankruptcy trustee conducts the hearing where basic questions are asked to the debtor. You can learn more about the 341 meeting of the creditors via this link.
In Chapter 13 cases, the trustee reviews the repayment plan. Like Chapter 7 cases, the trustee will be present at the 341 meeting, but as well as the Confirmation Hearing and any motions filed in the case.
The trustee is required to collect the monthly payment and distribute the funds to the creditors.
