What is the Role of a Chapter 13 Trustee?

Simply put, a trustee serves as a liaison between the Chapter 13 debtor and his/her creditors. They are not looking out for your interest; this is your bankruptcy attorney.  Rather, the trustee has the interest of the bankruptcy estate in mind when making decisions. The trustee is appointed by the court and will handle all communications between you and your creditors.

Every Chapter 13 case will have a trustee over the estate.  However, it is your bankruptcy attorney that has your best interest at heart.  Contact the Fears | Nachawati Law Firm today to speak to experienced bankruptcy counsel.
