What does a Licensed Insolvency Trustee (bankruptcy trustee) do?
A Licensed Insolvency Trustee helps you overcome your financial difficulties by explaining all your options. They file and administer consumer proposals and bankruptcies for individuals, and proposals and insolvencies for businesses.
They review your situation and collect information
Licensed trustees will review your financial situation in order to determine the best course of action. They are there to help you consider all the options available to you, with bankruptcy remaining a last resort.
They notify creditors and review claims
Licensed trustees will notify your creditors and review all claims made, as well as become the administrator for the insolvency procedure. This is standard practice for the initial insolvency process for either consumer proposals or personal bankruptcy.
Once your consumer proposal or bankruptcy is filed, most unsecured creditors must stop contacting you and taking legal action.
They help you complete necessary documentation and obligations
An LIT will also help you complete any necessary documentation and obligations in relation to your debt relief solution to ensure that everything is done according to official practice.
Why consult an insolvency trustee?
There are a number of reasons why you should consult a licensed trustee. Licensed Insolvency Trustees help you overcome your debt problems:
They can give you all the options
An LIT can outline all your viable options after assessing your unique situation. You may be under the impression that declaring bankruptcy is your only solution to your financial woes. However, an LIT can make sure bankruptcy is a last resort, after considering all the alternatives.
They deal with creditors
An LIT will manage the relationship with creditors on your behalf. This means that negotiations and any legal proceedings will be managed by the LIT and unsecured creditors will not be able to take action against you.
They are qualified professionals
When choosing to consult an LIT, you know that you are in the hands of a qualified, experienced professional who will explain your options clearly.
Debt can be a scary thing to manage and if you don’t really understand debt-relief processes, then an LIT can offer their expertise. Licensed trustees are regulated and authorised by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB).
They are regulated
LITs are subject to regulation and licensed by the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (OSB) and must comply with regulations as set out in the standards of practice and Code of Ethics for Trustees. This gives you peace of mind knowing that when you work with an LIT, they are overseen by an authority and you can take up any issues with them if necessary.
LIT fees are regulated
Fees for consumer proposals and personal bankruptcies are set by law. Most Licensed Insolvency Trustees, including Harris & Partners, offer a free first consultation.
