U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee

A U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee is an independent official appointed by the Department of Justice to oversee bankruptcy cases. Their primary role is to ensure that creditors are treated fairly, to evaluate the debtor’s finances, manage the liquidation or reorganization process, and verify the accuracy of financial information. They act as a neutral party to enforce bankruptcy laws, protect the integrity of the process, and oversee the distribution of assets to creditors according to the law. Essentially, they help facilitate a fair and lawful resolution for individuals or businesses filing for bankruptcy.
