341 meetings are usually the first formal event ever held in a case. The debtor and co-debtor (if applicable) must attend this meeting in person, and should be be prepared to answer questions on the schedules, statements and Chapter 13 Plan they filed. They must bring a social security card (or proof thereof) and government issued photo id (driver's license). Identification and social security number must be verified on the record before your case may proceed. Typically these meetings last 5-15 minutes. If there are no objections or other problems a confirmation recommendation will be made by the Trustee and confimation by the Court will occur shortly thereafter. If there are objections or other problems, a confirmation hearing will be set by the Court for a later date.
At least 10 days prior to the 341 Meeting our office requires the following documents (if applicable) be emailed to our office: copy of the filed Federal and State tax returns for the current tax year; lien perfection information: recorded mortgages and assignments and vehicle titles; the completed self-employed questionnaire; any other documentation we request to verify information provided in the schedules.
11 USC 1308 requires the debtor to file all required tax returns for tax periods ending within four years of the debtor’s filing date prior to the 341 meeting. If the debtor has not done so and is actively addressing this problem, their counsel (or they) may want to ask the trustee to adjourn the 341 in order for them to do so. Absent an adjournment for this reason, the case will likely be dismissed. Adjournment is not automatic and you will need to demonstrate to the trustee, efforts that are being made to address the tax filing.
If necessary, translation services are available for free for this meeting. Please Contact Us to assist you in setting that up.
