Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Trustees for the Western District

Besides reviewing the bankruptcy petition, trustees also question debtors at the creditors’ meeting regarding their assets, debt, income, and the transfer of any assets prior to filing. Under 11 U.S.C. Section 704(a)(1), trustees have the authority to convert non-exempt property into cash to distribute the funds to unsecured creditors.

Upon filing, the trustee’s office will notify you or your attorney of requested documents, which typically include financial disclosures such as recent bank records, pay stubs, and federal tax returns.

Requested documents should be provided at least ten days prior to their scheduled creditors’ hearing. Non-compliance or failure to cooperate with document requests can result in a rescheduled meeting or a petition dismissal under Sections 521(a)(3) and (4).
