Day of the Bankruptcy 341 Meeting of Creditors

The day of the hearing (Meeting of Creditors) can be stressful.  It doesn’t have to be if you have done the proper steps, which include working with a good attorney knowledgeable in these cases and giving your attorney all the necessary documents that the Trustee will request.  We send the documents to the Trustee about two weeks in advance of the meeting, so that the Trustee can review them, leaving little left to question the day of the meeting. To reduce the stress, make sure you get to the courtroom early and have brought everything that the attorney has instructed you to bring.  You will be placed in a room that has others who are also going through bankruptcy.  You will be sworn in and asked a series of questions by the Trustee.  These questions come from the “Petition” that was filled out on your behalf earlier, which you will have reviewed and signed.  Make sure you have read through and understand the information on the petition prior to the meeting, so that you will be prepared.   The length of the meeting is usually between 10- 30 minutes.

Remember the steps:  Get your documents to your attorney as soon as requested.  Review the petition thoroughly.  Get to the meeting early.
