A copy of my trustee report on PACER

[sp114]

Trustee's Report of No Distribution: Trustee of this estate reports and certifies that the trustee has performed the duties required of a trustee under 11 U.S.C. 704 and has concluded that there are no assets to administer for the benefit of creditors of this estate.I have received no funds or property of the estate, and paid no monies on account of the estate. Wherefore, the trustee prays that this report be approved and the trustee be discharged from office.

I hope this is good news. I thought the line about the trustee praying that this report be approved was odd, hopefully his prayers and mine are answered

This is the Trustee's notification to the Court that you have no assets he can sell, he is asking the Court to approve your bankruptcy and relieve him of his duties at Trustee.....

As soon as this is done, the stay is over and you will be discharged... after that your case will be closed.

Good thing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Minny is 100% on, as she always is.. LOVE YA MINNIE!!

In regards to all those prayers, read some of those documents, man they pray all the time.. LOL

I find it odd that he would put he is praying for your papers to go through. Not everyone in the world goes to church or wants to be prayed for. It's actually quite offensive and I'm glad those comments were in not my report.

That being said, congrats and take it as a good thing.

Your trustee was using a standard form.

The wording "prays that this report be approved" is legalese, and comes from the basis of Tort law, traditionally common law from England; the language is archaic to our ears today, but comes from a long history. The language is that of approximately 16th/17th Century England, when our country was formed and the laws were adopted from The Common Law. The word "prays" here means the same as "request" would in our vernacular. Lawyers continue to use the language for several reasons - probably the most important reason is that the definition of these terms and words has been decided by precedent, whereas the use of a new term might lend it open to interpretation.

But I love the idea of a praying trustee. I wish my trustee had prayed a little; he needed to. LOL
