Every person who files bankruptcy will have at least one
mandatory hearing, also known as the 341 Meeting of Creditors. It is a simple hearing usually attended only
by the debtor, the debtor’s attorney, and the bankruptcy trustee. Creditors are also allowed to attend.
These hearings are informal compared to a court proceeding
and may be very brief. Your trustee will
ask you about your assets, your income, and any other questions they have about
your bankruptcy.
Some cases, especially Chapter 13 cases, may require more
hearings, but most of King & King’s clients only have to appear in court
once at the 341 meeting.
It is very important to have an attorney representing you at
these hearings so your rights are protected.
In both chapter 13 bankruptcy and chapter 7 bankruptcies
your attorney will be able to guide you through the process and advise you on
the possibilities of going to court. Call King and King in Atlanta today for a free
