As Chapter 13 Trustee for the Central
District of Florida, I serve many people facing critical decisions
that can affect their family, business and their own personal well
being. Having access to important information can be helpful at such
a time, and can make a difference in understanding the options and
resources available to you through our office.
This Website is provided to assist you as you navigate through what
can be a very stressful time in your life, and help you to understand
the processes of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, and how it can work for you.
We will do our best to provide you with helpful links, maps, forms
and other resources and, hopefully, answer questions that may arise
in the process of your case should you choose to file for bankruptcy
protection.
If you are a creditor or creditors
attorney there will also be many resources and links to pertinent
case information that you may need as the case proceeds
through the system.
As an independent organization serving the
Federal Bankruptcy Court System, our office
acts as a
facilitator for both debtor and creditor, as well as a contact point
for the attorneys of both parties. Part of duty is to supply
the courts with correct information, thus assisting the judges
in the process of discovery. We remain neutral, but act on behalf
of both debtor and creditor.
We have included
contact e-mail information to our office for your convenience. Hopefully
you will be able to answer most of your questions from the information
and resources we have provided for you on this website.
Because the task at hand is often complex and time consuming we do
not encourage personal visits to our office, as I'm sure you can understand.
With this in mind we welcome you to our website
and hope that your time spent here will be helpful, educational and
enjoyable.
Sincerely Yours,
Laurie Weatherford, Trustee
