The US Trustees generally don't allow it. Difficulty in checking ID and
making sure the person is properly sworn in, they say.

news:<Aa-dnfVtH6artZHdRVn-uQ@comcast.com>... You generally must be present for the 341 in person. An attorney cannot appear for you. In such situations (with out-of-US clients), I've had the meeting
continued to a date that is convenient for my client. -- Brett ************************************************** *************** * Personal Injury/Malpractice Bankruptcy * * * * BRETT WEISS, P.C. * * Attorneys at Law * * Maryland, D.C. and Federal Bars * * lawyer@brettweiss.com * * http://www.brettweiss.com * * * * Small Business Estates & Estate Planning * ************************************************** *************** The Small Print: This response is for discussion purposes only.

Is that true. I've asked on this forum before about creditors going to get money in foreign countries???? I thought it would be very difficult. Brett- I'm in a similar situation where I will be moving out of the country to Europe and I am wondering what will happen if I "can't" be here for the 341 meeting? Do I have to be here or can an attorney represent me?
