Well, ya see, that varies from District/State from what I've read on this forum. But they cannot touch your bank account, or adjust your income after the 341, so I don't see where it would make a difference.
To be on the safe side, I would try to make the closing After you are Discharged Preferrably After Closing. But Dang, with so many people filing Bankruptcies, closing dates are being pushed, further & further out.
I would seek the advice of your Attorney. He works for you & what you tell him is supposed to be Confidential. I think he will be the only one who can give you a Straight Yes Or No Answer. All we can do is speculate, Unless there is someone on this forum in your District/State & had the same experience & INMHO you will not find such person on this forum.
Call you Attorney. Remember he's on your side...Trustee is not, he wants moolah! LOL!
Good Luck!

Originally posted by LSUTiger32 View PostI figured selling the property to a family member would be a red flag but my lawyer said that as long as I sell it for at least 2/3rds of its value that I would be fine.

You only have a month until your 341. Can you stall them by insisting that the house be inspected again, blah blah blah. It seems that you could run a couple of inspectors through there and it would be a month before they made you an offer. Or say, just to be fair to them you want them to have the house inspected by two inspectors, etc. It will take at least a couple of weeks for them to get a mortgage approved anyway.
I think involving your brother will delay your bankruptcy case and keep it open while the trustee gives you a close examination.
Stalling through setting up extra meetings and inspections and hoops should get you past your 341.You can't take a picture of this. It's already gone. ~~Nate, Six Feet Under

Originally posted by LSUTiger32 View PostYeah I told them that I would not probably be able to close until late September. So once the 341 is over, most of the scrutiny has been done? Realize here that I am NOT really getting any of this money and we aren't making anything. I've spent more than we will ever get back which is one of the reasons I had to file. Again I kept it because I didn't want to jeopardize my relationship with the bank that holds my primary residence mortgage (they are a local bank so they hold the paper). Believe me if it just meant me losing like $10,000 of my money I would gladly give it to my creditors for what this is going to do for us. I am planning on calling my attorney Monday and setting up a meeting with her before the 341 so we can decide how we are going to proceed.
Thanks so much everyone, please keep the thoughts and ideas coming!!
Any money that changes hands this close to your 341 could put you into a closer examination. I think with extra inspections, etc, you can hold off any money changing hands until after your 341.You can't take a picture of this. It's already gone. ~~Nate, Six Feet Under

Originally posted by LSUTiger32 View PostYeah I am thinking that I might get a BPO or even an appraisal done for the house in its current condition that way I can prove that its not worth as much right now. Would that help me as far as selling to my brother if I can show that it is really only worth what I am selling it for.You can't take a picture of this. It's already gone. ~~Nate, Six Feet Under

Quick update on a few things:
1. The buyers backed out. Not a bad thing I don't think since I would rather wait until after things settle down.
2. Got a letter from the trustee. It was sent by my lawyer and they sent a letter with it. He is requesting things I already gave to my lawyer plus a few other little things. The letter has his phone number and e-mail address. Do I contact him myself? I feel like I shouldn't say anything to him!New Orleans: Home to the World Champion Saints, the biggest enviromental disaster and the biggest natural disaster in the history of this nation.

2. If it were me, I wouldn't 'ruffle the feathers' of the Trustee Yet! But, I would be calling your lawyer. Go over line item by line item 'do you have this document.' Check them off as you go. Note the date, time of conversation.
3. I don't believe you set up a Pacer Account? and if you didn't that's okay. Is there a final date for docs to be received by Trustee? If so, I would call the Attorney about 3-5 business days before that date & again go line item by line item asking if Lawyer sent everything. If no date, then I would give Attorney no later than 2 weeks, as you've already stated he has the docs. and call him/her & make sure ALL docs were sent.
4. If you don't feel comfortable your Lawyer sent everything, you can always call the Clerk of your specific Bankruptcy Court, give him/her your case # & ask him/her if all the docs Trustee requested have been noted as received.
Just my thoughts.

If you already gave most of what the trustee is requesting to your lawyer, then you need to ask your own lawyer what he/she did with it and why the trustee is requesting it if you've already provided it.I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.

I found it kind of odd. My attorney told me this would be coming and she sent a letter that says to provide him the information within 7 days of my 341.

I do have a PACER account.

Originally posted by LSUTiger32 View PostIt is strange but it is obviously normal for this area. I have his address, phone number and e-mail and my lawyer told me to be expecting this. I guess I will just check with my lawyer in the morning to be sure. Most of it is stuff that my lawyer told me he will ask for and that I already provided to my lawyer. She said that there would maybe be one or two things that I would need to do. The only thing I can see would be the bank statement from when my last one ended to the date of filing.
IMHO, I believe Trustees are aware of more 'fly by night' Attornies who are not completing the Bankruptcy process papers correctly or omiting them, etc. I call them 'Newbies' but there are also the normal age Attornies and the ole codger Attornies doing the same thing. Please don't take offense to my choice of words..I'm trying to relax the OP
LSU, I'm really shocked your Attorney did not request a 'Snapshot' of your Bank Account on the date of filing. I know we talked about this in great detail before you filed with me explaining all checks needed to clear checking account or those monies would need to be shown as an Asset.
Now, don't go overboard on Pacer as to look at a document is $.08. Read the Stickie about Pacer. I know there's been quite a few detailed instructions on how to easily find info for the best value. I think I saved one of them; however, my Bankruptcy favorite List is quite Large! Will try to find it tho,

That's what makes me think it's normal. My attorney has been doing it out of the same office for 22 years. She is one of the biggest BK atty's in the New Orleans area so I know it's normal and legit.
I did take the snapshots of the accounts so I have that. I guess that is one of the things they are looking for. I was just cautious on sending it to him directly even though they told me to expect this.New Orleans: Home to the World Champion Saints, the biggest enviromental disaster and the biggest natural disaster in the history of this nation.
