So far I have not had a Chapter 7 trustee ask any sole proprietor client to
shut down his/her business when they file chapter 7 since in all such cases
I've had, the debtors were operating very small solo businesses, such as a
beautician, a mechanic, or a home business of some kind. I am filing a
chapter 7 for a sole proprietor attorney soon and am wondering whether a
Chapter 7 trustee in the CDCA would be likely to shut him down for the
duration of the Chapter 7 case? There are receivables we can't exempt
which the trustee may want to go after (though their collectibility is
doubtful), so this case *may* be an asset case.
What do you think?
