Who pays the bankruptcy trustee's lawyer?

This means that the funds are drawn from the money and property available in the estate, which may include proceeds from liquidated assets. If the estate does not have sufficient funds, the trustee's attorney may not receive payment for their services. In some cases, the debtor may also be required to pay certain fees, depending on the type of bankruptcy filed.

At the moment the court receives the petition, and gives it a docket number, all the debtor(s)' assets are "frozen" as they become property of the bankruptcy estate, administered by the trustee. In a Chapter 7, if the trustee files a finding of no assets, which mean the trustee accepts all exemptions claimed by the debtor(s) and there are no assets to be sold to satisfy the creditors, the property is available once more to the debtor. In a chapter 13, the freeze continues until the plan is approved except for regularly occurring payments for utilities, food, etc. In both cases, if the case is dismissed, the property is also unfrozen.
