Licensed Insolvency Trustee British Columbia

In most cases, the person declaring bankruptcy is responsible for paying for the costs associated with filing bankruptcy. There are three components that will determine the cost: minimum administration costs of the trustee, surplus income payments if applicable, and assets that you either pay to keep or are sold during the administration.

Fees can be paid by a friend or relative on the bankrupt’s behalf.

A creditor is aware of the asset and advises the Trustee. A personal contact of the bankrupt advises the trustee. Other means such as an examination under oath of the bankrupt or a personal or a professional contact. Reviewing records of the bankrupt which provides evidence of an asset.

It is highly unusual for a trustee to attend a bankrupt’s home to inspect or take possession of an asset. However, under specific and rare circumstances, it can happen. In most cases, you would deliver your assets to the trustee who would then sell them and distribute the funds to the creditors.

The trustee normally requests a recent bank statement as part of the verification process. If they require more, they will request you provide it to them, or they can request the information directly from the bank.

There are a number of different scenarios that may happen within the consumer proposal process. However, if the majority of creditors represented by dollar value vote in favour of the proposal, all unsecured creditors are legally bound by the process. If a creditor doesn’t vote they are legally bound by the creditors that do vote.

This depends on the type of transaction and the relationship between the parties. Depending on the situation, the trustee can review certain transactions that are three months, twelve months or five years preceding the bankruptcy filing.

No. A licensed insolvency trustee is the only professional licensed by the Federal Government to prepare and file a bankruptcy assignment or a consumer proposal.
