Best Answer

The usual reason is the trustee has found evidence that indicates the bankruptcy filer has non-exempt assets that were not reported. This however, does not mean the trustee necessarily believes it was intentional; perhaps the filer did not realize he was owed funds that should have been reported. In rare cases it is because the trustee suspects dishonest activity relating to the bankruptcy. In extreme situations the trustee may refer the case to the U.S.Trustee Office for further action.

How do you settle a judgment if the attorney is deceased?

If the judgment was rendered prior to the attorney's death, then you must adhere to the court ruling yourself. If you feel the need of an attorney to represent you in carrying out the order, you must employ one. If the attorney died while the matter was still in litigation, you DEFINITELY need the services of another attorney to take over the case. The court will, in all probability, grant a continuance to you for this.
