Will the court appoint a trustee to supervise my case when filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Law in Washington allows individuals to eliminate most of their debts, such as credit card debt, medical bills, and personal loans. In order to file for Chapter 7, a debtor must prove that they do not have the means to pay off their debts. If this is the case, the court will appoint a trustee to manage the case. The trustee is an independent individual tasked with the responsibility of overseeing the case and ensuring that the debtor is following the rules of filing for bankruptcy. The trustee will also review the debtor’s assets and debts and may recommend whether or not the debtor should proceed with their Chapter 7 filing. They will also help the debtor complete the necessary paperwork and will help to ensure that the debtor’s assets are properly liquidated and used to pay off any remaining debts. The trustee will also review any objections filed by the creditors to the debtor’s motion to discharge their debts and make a recommendation to the court as to whether or not the objection should be appeased. Ultimately, the trustee will help the debtor to understand their rights and responsibilities and ensure that the debtor is following the rules of bankruptcy law.
