Who Is the Bankruptcy Trustee?
The bankruptcy trustee is not a government official, but is a private contractor hired by the U.S. Department of Justice. The role of a trustee is different depending upon whether you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
- In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the trustee’s primary role is to liquidate the assets that are not protected and to distribute the money obtained from the sale among the creditors.
- In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the trustee’s role lasts from the initial filing to the end of the payment plan. They will be responsible for collecting your payments and distributing the money to your creditors. The trustee also has the ability to initiate a modification of the payment plan.
