Trustees and Administrators
When a bankruptcy case is filed, a U.S. trustee or bankruptcy administrator monitors the case and associated actions by all parties. Bankruptcy administrators oversee the administration of cases filed in Alabama and North Carolina only. In all other states, a bankruptcy trustee monitors the case.
U.S. Trustees
When a bankruptcy case is filed, the United States trustee assigns an impartial case trustee to administer the case and liquidate the debtor's nonexempt assets. The trustee monitors the conduct of bankruptcy parties and private estate trustees, oversees related administrative functions, and acts to ensure compliance with applicable laws and procedures. The U.S. Trustee Program is a component of the U.S. Department of Justice. Learn more.
Bankruptcy Administrators
Congress established the bankruptcy administrator program in 1986. The bankruptcy administrator offices in the six judicial districts of Alabama and North Carolina oversee the administration of bankruptcy cases, maintain a panel of private trustees, and monitor the transactions and conduct of parties in bankruptcy. Bankruptcy administrators also:
- Approve and maintain a list of approved credit counseling agencies and debtor education providers in their districts; and
- Issue the schedules of administrative expenses which contain, by judicial district, the chapter 13 multiplier needed to complete certain bankruptcy forms.
