Filing a Simple BankruptcyWritten by Susan Chana Lask, Esq.
Continued from page 1
Only those creditors you list in petition will be notified with respect to your filing for bankruptcy. In about 30 days from your filing date, you will be scheduled for a first meeting of creditors (called a section 341 meeting). At that meeting, bankruptcy trustee (the person from court) will ask you some questions. The trustee is interested in discovering whether you have any property or assets available for benefit of your creditors. By law, you are allowed to keep certain property and trustee's questions are very straightforward and not at all intimidating. When trustee is finished, your creditors are given an opportunity to speak. If none of your creditors appear then an additional 60 days is set for anyone to make any objections or file any additional papers. If nothing happens in that 60 day period, your bankruptcy will be granted and you will be relieved from all debts listed in your petition.
