We had our 341 meeting a week ago. I know the 60 days before discharge is just the time allowed for the creditors to object (which we shouldn't have any reason for that), but does the trustee do anything in that time? Or is his job finished after the hearing?

In my experience, shortly after the 341 the trustee (can't remember if it was the US trustee) entered a request to be discharged from the case. I was told by the wise people of the forum that that was a good thing.Originally posted by ERue View PostFiled BK on 3/27/09

Do you know how soon his request to be discharged normally is?
I'm just curious if he would have any reason to keep track of things we do after the hearing. Not that I would do anything out of the ordinary or anything, I am just wondering.Comment

A request for discharge is still different then a discharge. The trustee is only recommending a discharge to the judge that will sign the paper work if he'she agrees ( which is likely). I wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary until you receive your discharge.. Ordinary meaning.. don't go on vacation, buy new furniture etc.. wait until your discharge. Other than that go about your business.Comment

if you are a no asset case, then shortly after the meeting (depends on the trustee, could be one day or a couple of weeks), the trustee files a report of no distribution and is done. if you are an asset case, the trustee has the responsibility of distributing assets to creditors, and that could take a lot of time even after discharge.
if you filed as a no asset but the trustee thinks there are assets to distribute, then they would say that at some point, but maybe someone else who this happened to can chime in.
much less common is if you filed as an asset case and the trustee turns it into a no asset; then you get to keep non-exempt assets just for fun!filed ch7 May 09
