Bankruptcy Referee

A bankruptcy referee, also known as a bankruptcy judge or trustee, is a legal professional who oversees bankruptcy cases in the court system. Their primary role is to ensure that the bankruptcy process is fair and follows legal procedures. They help assess the debtor's financial situation, decide how to distribute assets among creditors, and confirm repayment plans if applicable. They also address any disputes that may arise during the process. Essentially, a bankruptcy referee helps manage the legalities of declaring bankruptcy to ensure that both the debtor and creditors are treated fairly.
