If I decide that you have assets worthy of administration and you wish to purchase these assets, then you must agree to the purchase price and the method of payment at the creditor meeting, or within the time specified or be prepared to surrender the property. All agreements are made subject to receiving the approval of the bankruptcy court. I will file a motion to sell the property to you upon receipt of the funds. There may be objections to the sale and/or higher bids offered, at which point you will be given an opportunity to compete in the bidding. If you choose not to purchase some or all of the assets, these assets must be turned over to my agent as I further instruct.

If you acquire or become entitled to acquire, within 180 days after bankruptcy petition date, any interest in property by bequest, devise or inheritance; or as a result of a property settlement agreement with a spouse or interlocutory or final divorce decree; or as beneficiary of a life insurance policy or a death benefit plan, I must be notified in writing since this is a property of the bankruptcy estate. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS TRUE EVEN IF A TRUSTEE’S REPORT OF NO DISTRIBUTION OR A TRUSTEE’S FINAL REPORT HAS BEEN FILED IN THIS CASE.
