Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Re: After meeting of trustee, creditors

Usually not, unless a creditor wants to take your examination. That hardly ever happens.

Re: After meeting of trustee, creditors

In most bankruptcy cases filed by individuals (Chapter 7 or 13), the only hearing is the Meeting of Creditors conducted by the appointed trustee. In Chapter 13 cases, the court might conduct a hearing on whether a proposed repayment plan should be confirmed.

In vary rare cases, a creditor or trustee might conduct something called a Rule 2004 Examination. A 2004 exam "may relate only to the acts, conduct, or property or to the liabilities and financial condition of the debtor, or to any matter which may affect the administration of the debtor's estate, or to the debtor's right to a discharge." These rarely occur.

In some limited cases, a creditor may also have an objection your discharge called an adversary proceeding.

There may be hearings on those matters such as a creditor seeking relief from the automatic stay to complete a foreclosure. But with those and other very limited exceptions, your Meeting of Creditors will be the only hearings in your case prior to receiving a discharge.
