At the hearing your are sworn under oath and the trustee will ask you a serious of questions about the documents and schedules that are filed with court. The trustee is a person who is assigned to your case by the court and who is in charge of administrating the case. Most of the questions that are asked by the trustee are pretty routine. Some of the more common questions that are asked are:
- Did you read the schedules and petition before signing them
- Is everything in the documents accurate?
- Did you list all of your assets?
- Did you list all of your creditors?
- Have to transferred or sold any property in the last 2 years?
- Do you owe any domestic support obligations?
