Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Trustees

Answer:

When talking to clients at our South Jersey office, they often want to know, “Who is this trustee? What do they do, and what part do they play in my bankruptcy plan?” The trustee is an individual who actually has the best interest of the creditors in mind. They will go over your assets, your debts, and your liabilities during your hearing. Creditors almost never show up to these hearings, but the trustee is there to make sure that everything is in order, and they will be the one who disperses your monthly payments. If you have any more questions about how Chapter 13 bankruptcy works, or what role the trustee will play, please feel free to contact our office.
