A trustee is the person or institution that manages the property put in trust.
In bankruptcy proceedings, the trustee is the representative of the bankruptcy estate who exercises statutory powers, principally for the benefit of the unsecured creditors, who acts under the general supervision of the court and the direct supervision of the U.S. trustee or bankruptcy administrator.
The trustee in bankruptcy proceedings is a private individual or corporation appointed in all chapter 7, chapter 12, and chapter 13 cases and some chapter 11 cases. The trustee's responsibilities include reviewing the debtor's petition and schedules and bringing actions against creditors or the debtor to recover property of the bankruptcy estate. In chapter 7, the trustee liquidates property of the estate, and makes distributions to creditors.
