What is the procedure for carrying out bankruptcy proceedings?

Bankruptcy proceedings in Oregon are carried out in accordance with the federal bankruptcy code. This means that the process is the same across the United States, though each state has its own laws and regulations that may apply to the situation. The process begins when a debtor files a petition in a federal bankruptcy court, either voluntarily or involuntarily, outlining the nature of their debts and assets. The bankruptcy court will then appoint a bankruptcy trustee to oversee the proceedings. The trustee will assess the debtor’s financial situation and may require the debtor to provide certain documents and financial statements. After the trustee has reviewed the documents, they may decide to hold a hearing to discuss the merits of the case and determine if a restructuring plan is applicable. The court will then review the debtor’s filing and determine if the debtor is eligible to proceed with a bankruptcy case. If the court grants the debtor permission to proceed with bankruptcy proceedings, the debtor will be required to liquidate all assets and distribute the funds among creditors. The court will then review the repayment plan and either approve or reject it, depending on the merits of the case. If approved, the debtor must then adhere to the repayment plan, as outlined by the court. After the repayment plan is complete, the bankruptcy court will issue a discharge order, making the debtor legally free of the remaining debt. This will officially close the case and the debtor will no longer be liable for the unpaid debt.
