What is the purpose of the US Trustee in San Jose?
A San Jose bankruptcy attorney addresses the topic of the purpose of the US Trustee...
The purpose of the US Trustee is key. The US Trustee is in place to review bankruptcy petitions thoroughly and site any problems, errors, issues or "red flags" with regard to the petition and the petition filer. This could be with regard to reported income by the debtor, charitable contributions claimed by the debtor, and various aspects within the means test, which is the tool to determine whether one qualifies for a Chapter 7 bankrutpcy filing.
The US Trustee oversees the performance of the local trustee, who manages the bankruptcy filer at the local level. During a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing, the trustee will manage the debtors case, interact with them at the 341 hearing, and review all assets and financial reports with regard to the bankruptcy filing. In turn, the US Trustee manages the work of the local trustee to ensure quality control and the effective filing (or dismissal) of each bankruptcy case.
