Bankruptcy Trustee Questionnaires

Each bankruptcy case is assigned to an individual trustee. There are two trustees for Marion and Polk County Cases. They are Ronald Sticka and Michael Grassmueck. These trustees also handle cases from other counties. Further, cases from other counties may also have a trustee other than Mr. Sticka and Mr. Grassmueck. In order to determine the trustee handling your case, you need to look on your Notice of Commencement of Case. This should be mailed to you directly from the bankruptcy court clerk once your case is filed. A sample of such a notice can be viewed here.

Both Mr. Sticka and Mr. Grassmueck send questionnaires to debtors prior to the date set for the 341(a) hearing. Debtors are required to complete such questionnaires prior to the hearing and are required to bring relevant documentation to the hearing. Failure to do so often results in the hearing be rescheduled for another time.

Below are links to Copies of the questionnaires, check lists, and other information provide by the trustees which we have placed on our site for use of our clients and others.

Bankruptcy Court and Hearing Location Directions:

The Bankruptcy Court is a Federal Court. There are two divisions, one in Portland and the other in Eugene. Cases for individuals living in Marion, Polk, Lincon, Linn, and Lane Couties, and most counties south of Marion, are filed with the Eugene Division.

The first meeting of creditors is held between 30 and 45 days after a bankruptcy has been filed. The hearing location is shown on the Notice of Commencement of Case. A sample of such a notice can be viewed here. The hearing locations vary depending upon where the debtor lives. For individuals living in Marion and Polk County, the hearing will be held in Salem. For individuals in Linn or Lane County, the hearing will be in Eugene.
