Does Atty have to contact Trustee?

[bam531]

This question kinda falls in with my other post. ( Questions about converting to Ch 7). If I make an appointment and talk to our Atty about our situation...Is the Atty required by law to contact trustee? Or can this just be a meeting to discuss our options? Sorry for all the questions..but just trying to get our ducks in a row before we do anything. Thanks!!

Your Attorney works for you. Discussing your options does not require your attorney to contact the trustee.

If you want changes or your Attorney to do something for you, that is different.

As stated, the attorney works for you. There is, in fact, an attorney-client relationship and the attorney-client privilege exists! You and your attorney can do all sorts of planning discussions, working out what's best for you. Their job is to provide counsel and for you to be able to discuss anything with them. That's why the privilege is so protected.

Should you choose to convert to a Chapter 7, the attorney will let the Trustee know by serving them a copy of your Notice of Conversion.

And that is very important. Without this, life would not be good...
