Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code is the set of laws that governs the liquidation (or sale) of a debtor’s assets to satisfy the debtor’s legal obligations to pay creditors. An officer called a Chapter 7 Trustee is appointed to review assets of the debtor, determines whether assets can and/or should be sold, administers the sale of the assets, files lawsuits to recover certain asset transfers, and distributes sale proceeds to creditors.
Not all Chapter 7 cases result in a liquidation of assets, but even if a trustee does not liquidate property, the debtor can still obtain a “discharge” of debts.
