What is a 341 meeting?

A 341 meeting is an important part of the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy process in California. This meeting, also known as the meeting of creditors, is the opportunity for bankruptcy trustees to ask questions of the debtor who filed for bankruptcy. The meeting is typically held 30-45 days after the filing of the bankruptcy petition. At the 341 meeting, the bankruptcy trustee will ask the debtor questions related to his or her finances and assets, as well as any additional questions that may arise. The trustee may ask the debtor to provide documents such as tax returns and other financial documents to verify the accuracy of his or her financial situation. The trustee may also ask the debtor questions about any creditors that the debtor may have and the specific debts that the debtor is hoping to discharge through the bankruptcy process. The 341 meeting is an important part of the bankruptcy process and the debtor must attend this meeting. It is a chance for the trustee to verify the accuracy of the debtors financial situation and to get important information about the debtor. This information helps the trustee determine if the debtor is eligible for a discharge of debts. If the debtor does not attend the 341 meeting, the bankruptcy case may be dismissed.
