After you file your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy petition and plan, you will be required to attend a telephonic Section 341 meeting, which is an examination–under oath–conducted by the Chapter 13 Trustee. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court will set the date for this mandatory appearance.
At this meeting, the Trustee will place you under oath and ask you questions regarding the content of your proposed bankruptcy plan, your schedules, assets, debts, and other matters. After the Trustee is finished, your creditors will have an opportunity to ask you questions regarding the location and condition of your property, hazard insurance coverage, and other matters related to your financial affairs.
