A section 73 proposal is presented to creditors by a Trustee and if successful your bankruptcy will be annulled.  This is just one example of the duties performed by a Trustee, their role means that they will be doing a lot more.

A Trustee is in charge of making investigations into the estate of a bankrupt to examine their financial affairs.  The Trustee will examine the estate to ascertain if any invalid transactions have been made, for example the Trustee transfers and/or transactions made as preferential payments.

A Trustee has the ability to report their findings to the Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia (ITSA).  The Trustee will conduct all investigations in an unbiased manner in order to gather an accurate value of the bankrupt estate. After the Trustee has established the value of the bankrupt estate they will make appropriate distributions to creditors to satisfy their debt.
