Who Is This "Trustee" Person You Speak Of?

The Trustee plays a role in every bankruptcy case. He or she is not required to be an attorney. The Trustree's role is to protect your creditors. Think of the Trustee as the intermediary between: (1) you and your attorney; and (2) the Judge.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy In Atlanta
When you attend your Chapter 7 341 Hearing at the Richard B. Russell Federal Building in downtown Atlanta, you and your attorney will meet with the Chapter 7 Trustee in a hearing room. The Trustee will review your assets as disclosed in your petition for purposes of determining if any of your property is unexempt, or unprotected. If your assets are unprotected, the Trustee may order that your property be sold for the benefit of your creditors.
