beeboah Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hi,Since I am overseas, I was wondering if I need to show up in person to the meeting of creditors in person? Could I give someone power of attorney? Or possibly hire an attorney to go in lieu of myself? Or do I have to save up for a round trip plane ticket?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123rich Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Thats a good question. Are you in the Military? If so then the Soldier's and Sailor's act should cover it http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/questions/ssrelief/usc50top.htmlIf your not in the Military then I would think that you could send a letter to the court explaining your absence and allowing your attorney to lead the way for you.

LadynRed Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 NO, you can NOT give anyone a power of attorney, you cannot do it with a letter, you MUST be there IN PERSON to speak with the TRUSTEE. There is no 'out' here, your butt has to be in that chair opposite the Trustee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recovering Attorney Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I don't think that question deserves an answer! Sorry, beeboah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeboah Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 No wonder you are recovering! To the rest of you, who can simply answer the question.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jeeptravel Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Seems like it's already been answered by the lady: YOU MUST BE THERE. If you don't show, the judge may dismiss your case. When I was there a guy wasn't there and the attorney got him another day in court, but the judge was really annoyed. I would get there no matter what.
