- Please use your first and last name as your Zoom login so you can be easily identified and avoid the necessity of renaming you during the session.

Once verification is complete, you will be admitted into the meeting.
Please transmit ALL documentation necessary to conduct the §341 Meeting (ex: power of attorney, proof of identification, and social security number) to our secured portal at Bankruptcy Documents (bkdocs.us).

DO NOT EMAIL or TEXT THE DOCUMENTS TO STAFF as this method is not a secure transmission.
ALL necessary documentation and completed plans must be received at least TWO business days before the meeting is to be conducted. Please ensure the appropriate identification documents are in legible form and in color. If documentation necessary to conduct the §341 Meeting and/or the case is not fully completed, the meeting may be continued until the necessary information is received or filed.
Language interpreter services are available for Debtors at the §341 Meetings. If the Debtor needs the assistance of a language interpreter, please inform the Trustee in advance of the §341 Meeting. The Trustee will contact the language interpreter service, and an interpreter will be provided at no cost to the Debtor.
If a Debtor has a disability, such as a hearing impairment, please contact the Trustee in advance of the §341 Meeting so the Trustee can notify the UST that an accomodation may be necessary. The UST, in consultation with the Debtor and Trustee, will determine the accomodation to be made, if any, such as the use of a sign language interpreter, again at no cost to the Debtor.
