The Bankruptcy Trustee Will Not Come to Your House

When filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, many debtors in the Phoenix, Arizona, area worry that the bankruptcy trustee will make a visit to their home. The trustee in any bankruptcy filing would need court approval or your permission to visit your residence, and must have a compelling reason to do so.

That being said, most bankruptcy attorneys will tell you that the people most concerned about being visited are often the debtors who have not been completely honest in their bankruptcy filing paperwork. Experienced bankruptcy lawyers in good standing would not want to represent such a client.

When you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will be compelled to swear to the truthfulness of the documents in a court of law. Knowingly swearing to false information is a felony that will be prosecuted. But if your bankruptcy claim has been completely and honestly reviewed by a qualified bankruptcy attorney, then you have no reason to fear a trustee visit.
