Working With the Bankruptcy Trustee
Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy means that you'll be dealing with a "bankruptcy trustee" who will be assigned to handle your case. The trustee's job is to gather all non-exempt property you own into the "bankruptcy estate" to determine what (if anything) can be sold and the proceeds distributed to your unsecured creditors. In most cases, there's nothing left — "no-asset" cases make up more than 90% of consumer chapter 7 cases — but the trustee will be looking.
