11 U.S.C. § 1183What a Subchapter V trustee does
Subchapter V was created by the Small Business Reorganization Act of 2019. Unlike an ordinary Chapter 11 trustee, the Subchapter V trustee does not take over your business — you stay in control as debtor-in-possession. The trustee’s job is to facilitate a consensual reorganization plan, appear at the status conference, review your finances, and oversee distributions under a confirmed plan.
Subchapter V trustees are compensated under 11 U.S.C. § 330, usually hourly — a different (and generally lighter) framework than the percentage fees charged by standing Chapter 13 trustees. Eligibility requires total debts below the Subchapter V cap.
The specific trustee in your case is appointed by the U.S. Trustee and named on your docket. This finder lists the district panel from the official roster.
