Why Chapter 7 Trustees Matter

Chapter 7 trustees are independent fiduciaries tasked with ensuring your bankruptcy petition is accurate and that any non-exempt property is fairly managed. They investigate assets, conduct creditor meetings, and distribute funds to creditors if available. It is important to cooperate with the chapter 7 trustee and timely answer any questions or requests for information they may have. The chapter 7 trustee effectively works for creditors and does not represent debtors. Their job is to maximize returns to creditors who are being discharged.

If you have questions or concerns about your Chapter 7 trustee’s role or actions, consult an experienced Miami bankruptcy attorney for personalized guidance.
