Here in Arizona, we have some remarkably capable, well-qualified, compassionate and experienced Bankruptcy Trustees. I've known a bunch of 'em forever, and some of them I've met more recently.
It's hard to be a Bankruptcy Trustee, because their natural human compassion toward those who suffer through an Arizona bankruptcy case is counterbalanced by their fiduciary obligation to collect non-exempt assets to the full extent of Arizona bankruptcy exemption law and Federal bankruptcy law.
And they do a good job, and like everybody else, they have good days, and less good days. Remember, they'll spend eight hours getting a hundred debtors through first meetings of creditors in Arizona, and doing so with precision, courtesy and efficiency.
Often, a couple with a baby gets bumped to the front of the line by the trustee, to make things easier for the baby and the parents. By and large, trustees are good people in a difficult job.
One recently stood out in my estimation because of her overall attitude toward her job; she was going to do what she had to do under the law, but she wasn't going to make any debtor suffer a bit more than she had to!
Now, that doesn't mean you can be uncooperative with a bankruptcy trustee in Arizona; that would be bad. Putting it a different way, in a bankruptcy case in Arizona, let the Wookie win!
But here's a bankruptcy video in which I talk about the plight of the poor trustee, who has to do hard, technical work, and try to do it without causing more pain than necessary. And understanding that the trustee doesn't want to make you suffer may make the process a little easier for a debtor in an Arizona Chapter 7 bankruptcy case.
Or not.
