What Should I Expect at My U.S. Trustee Meeting?
A San Francisco bankruptcy attorney explains what you can expect at your meeting with the U.S. Trustee.
Filing for bankruptcy is a large step. It is often the last step of a long and hard battle against debt, and a step that no one takes lightly. Every legal proceeding has certain processes that must be followed, this includes filing for bankruptcy. One of the largest parts of the filing is the three US trustee meetings. Attending this meeting is mandatory, but does not have to be intimidating if you are prepared for what to expect.
So what do you expect at any of the US trustee meetings?
You should expect to be questioned by the trustee about your debt, assets and current financial situation. Be honest and prepared. Creditors may attend the meeting and present questions. You will have to answer these questions, but do not be afraid, you have already filled bankruptcy and many just show for intimidation purposes. Creditors may approach you after the meeting to try and negotiate a pay off before being included in the bankruptcy. You do not have to negotiate, the bankruptcy is already under way.
