What Is A Bankruptcy Administrator?
By Susanne Robicsek, North Carolina Bankruptcy Attorney on Mar 24, 2007 in Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure, General Bankruptcy Information
When a bankruptcy case is filed, a Trustee is appointed to oversee the case. In all states except for North Carolina and Alabama, a United States Trustee oversees the case Trustee and the overall administration of the case. In North Carolina and Alabama, the Bankruptcy Administrator serves much the same role as the U.S. Trustee.
The U.S. Trustee is part of the Executive Branch, while the Bankruptcy Administrator is part of the Judicial Branch. The President appoints the U.S. Trustee for the districts, and the U.S. Trustee hires Assistant U.S. Trustees for more direct involvement and day to day operations in the districts. The Bankruptcy Administrator is appointed by judges rather than the President.
