What is a Bankruptcy “Trustee?”

Upon filing, the court will assume legal control of your debts and property not covered by your California exemptions.  A Trustee will be appointed to your case by the court.  The job of the Trustee is to see that your creditors are paid as much as possible.  This person will thoroughly review your paperwork, particularly the assets you have in your possession and the exemptions you wish to claim, and can challenge any element of your case.

For more information about bankruptcy, please call us at 408-294-6100, or e-mail us via info@sjconsumerlaw.com.  One of our attorneys will be able to answer any questions which you may have in greater detail.  Please remember that the foregoing information is of a general nature, and does not constitute legal advice.  The facts of each situation are unique, and we must discuss those facts with you before any advice can be given.
