"Colorado Bankruptcy Trustee"
In Colorado bankruptcy cases filed under Chapters 7 and 13, a trustee is appointed by the court to review legal compliance
for all documents filed by debtors, recommend the disposition of the case, and file a final accounting.
Trustees serve the U.S. Department of Justice, though the U.S. Trustee's Office, and are generally local
attorneys acting as Assistant US Trustees for Colorado bankruptcy proceedings. Trustees represent the interest of the
DOJ & U.S. Trustee.

appear and be heard on any issue in any case or proceeding under this title but may not file a plan pursuant
to section 1121(c) of this title"
11 U.S.C. §323: "(a) The trustee in a case under this title is the representative of the estate. (b) The
trustee in a case under this title has capacity to sue and be sued"
11 U.S.C. §330(a): "(1) After notice to the parties in interest and the United States Trustee and a
hearing, and subject to sections 326, 328, and 329, the court may award to a trustee, an examiner, a
professional person employed under section 327 or 1103 - (A) reasonable compensation for actual, necessary

State Department of Justice, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and other US Court sites. Regarding these
forms, the Colorado Bankruptcy Court advises "While we have no reason to believe that these Spanish language
forms or information have been translated inaccurately, only the English language forms are officially
prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts. Accordingly, the Court for the District of
Colorado can not guarantee the accuracy or sufficiency of information contained in Spanish language forms or
informational documents." The Colorado Bankruptcy Court also maintains a pro bono program to assist qualified
debtors with adversary proceedings (not available to file petitions to initiate Ch. 7 or 13 cases).
