Are you experiencing financial difficulties??


DO NOT WORRY. You are not the only one having financial difficulties. Over 70,000 individuals, each year, face this situation and decide to consult with a Trustee to find the right solution to their problems.

WHO IS A TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY? A Trustee is an individual or a corporation licensed by the Federal government to conduct the bankruptcy process while representing the mass of creditors, even though he is chosen by the bankrupt.

A Trustee is an officer of the court who assures the rights of the creditor and of the debtor are respected.

All Trustees are governed by the BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY ACT. A Trustee cannot be discharged from his administration of an estate without court and/or Official Receiver’s approval, who will review the Trustee’s administration, including his fees and disbursements.

Many warning signs exist to identify financial difficulties. If you answer yes to one or more of the following questions, you should think about contacting one of our professionals to evaluate your financial situation.
