How long after you file a chapter 7 are you supposed to turn over property or do you wait for the meeting of the creditors so the court can tell you?
In the case of a home, it will be sold at Sheriff sale on its own. (or the Trustee may sell it) In the case of any other property, the Trustee must abandon the property, then the Creditor will contact you (or your attorney if you have one) to arrange to get the item. If its a car, or some other type of personal property, you can sometimes accellerate the process by calling the creditor's attorney. (Or the creditor if they don't have one) Ask the Trustee at your 341 hearing (meeting of the creditors) what he/she thinks. They may abandon it right there.
How long does chap 7 bankruptcy last?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy case typically lasts between three and four months. Once the case is filed, there is a meeting of creditors (known as the 341 meeting) approximately 30-40 days after the case is filed. After the meeting, creditors have approximately 60 days to file objections or adversarial complaints to the debtor's discharge. Once that time frame has expired, the Clerk of the US Bankruptcy Court will send the Discharge Order to all creditors, to the debtor and to the debtor's attorney.

If you have your attorney, then the attorney can appear on your behave at the hearing date and also request that the matter be continued.
Bankruptcy 341 hearing?
341 is the section of the bankruptcy code that provides for a meeting of creditors. Though creditors is the name of the meeting, it is rare creditors show for the meeting. Really what this meeting is a meeting with the bankruptcy trustee assigned to your case. The trustee reviews your papers and would liquidate any property that is not exempt. Typically, most people don't have any non-exempt assets and the case is a no asset case. The trustee at the 341 meeting asks questions to see if the debtor has any assets he would be interested in, that the debtor is telling the truth and the papers are done correctly. The trustee, if satisfied, will file a report with the judge who then signs off on the debtor's bankruptcy discharge.
Why would there be a second meeting after initial 341 meeting?
Sometimes there are multiple meetings if the attorney was not prepared, or the judge requested documents that were not at the initial 341. It does not always mean your bankruptcy will be denied, it is usually just to clarify information. Second meetings are also held if the attorney or clients did not show up.
