Who is the bankruptcy trustee and what do they do?

In every case under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, a trustee is appointed to supervise your case. Typically most Chapter 7 cases do not contain any non-exempt property. In other words, most Chapter 7 individuals, couples, and businesses do not have assets which exceed the exemption allowances – these cases are referred to as “no asset” cases. In these cases, the trustee evaluates your schedules, statements, and exemption claims and makes sure that you carry out your stated intentions with respect to loans that you want to reaffirm.
