What is the 341 meeting of creditors?

The 341 meeting of creditors is a court-mandated hearing that takes place when a debtor in Kansas files for bankruptcy. This hearing is also known as a “meeting of creditors.” During this meeting, the debtor is obligated to appear and answer questions under oath about their financial status, assets, and liabilities. The debtor must also bring all of their financial documents to the meeting. The 341 meeting of creditors is conducted by a bankruptcy trustee. The trustee is the legally appointed representative of the court and has the responsibility to oversee the bankruptcy process. The trustee will ask the debtor questions and go over their financial information to ensure accuracy. The trustee will also ask the debtor if they have assets that could be liquidated to pay the creditors. Creditors may also attend the 341 meeting of creditors and ask the debtor questions. The creditors may ask about the debt, assets, and financial condition of the debtor and they may challenge the debtor’s discharge of the debt. Creditors cannot harass or threaten the debtor during the hearing. After the 341 meeting of creditors is complete, the trustee will issue a report to the court regarding the debtor’s financial status. This report may include a recommendation concerning whether or not the debtor should receive a discharge of the debts. The court will use this report to decide if a discharge of debts should be given.
