A Chapter 7 trustee acts on behalf of creditors and the court, ensuring you have accurately disclosed your assets, income, and debts. During the bankruptcy process, you’ll interact with your trustee regarding financial questions and any property that may be subject to liquidation. If you have any uncertainties on how to cooperate with your trustee, speaking with a qualified Tampa bankruptcy lawyer can help you avoid potential problems.
