The Chapter 7 Trustee asks several questions at the Meeting of Creditors – This is required to ensure the petition and schedules filed with the court are accurate and complete. Remember, you sign the petition and schedules under penalty of perjury. READ your petition and schedules before you go to court. If you have changes, let your attorney know. It is best to make corrections before you get to court.

When answering the Trustee’s questions – listen carefully to what they are asking and answer that question. If they are asking if you ever owned real property — that means land or houses. It can be financed, inherited or paid for property. Be sure any real property is listed.
