Trustee Meetings in Maryland, Where Will I Have To Go?

Where is the Bankruptcy Court in Maryland and will I have to go?

You will have to attend a "Meeting of Creditors" as least once.

After the court receives a Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy filing, it schedules a meeting of your creditors. The day after your case is filed, the court schedules your meeting of creditors. In most cases it is about 4-5 weeks from the date of filing. This meeting cannot be rescheduled.

In the vast majority of cases no creditors attend the meeting and it is just you, your bankruptcy attorney, and the bankruptcy trustee for about a ten minute meeting. This is called the section 341 meeting.

There are two bankruptcy courts departments in Maryland, one in Greenbelt and one in Baltimore (although 341 meetings are also held in Hagerstown and on the Eastern Shore).

A list of sample questions for your Trustee meeting will be included in your packet from your attorney at The Aylward Law Firm LLC. Ms. Aylward was a former Chapter 7 Trustee for 8 years. She will advise you of the questions likely to be asked and prepare you for your Trustee meeting.

Consult your Baltimore Bankruptcy Attorney or your Montgomery County Bankruptcy attorney to discuss your bankruptcy options and alternatives to bankruptcy.
