FlagI know that I have already asked too many questions on here already, but I am getting different answers on this question from different lawyers so I want to know once and for all what is the correct answer. The thing is that I want to know if someone with a power of attorney can attend the 341 meeting instead of the debtor? Can they attend in place of the debtor? How do you request a telephone 341 meeting and do they allow that since I have heard about that? Any suggestions?
One reason you might be getting different answers is also because you are not stating why the person cannot attend.
Personal attendance for the examination is the price to be paid for obtaining a discharge. Being a fugitive pretty much makes it impossible to file for bankruptcy.
The idea of doing it by phone is ludicrous - how would anyone know who is on the other end?
If there is an issue about the person being unable to attend because of illness or disability or imprisonment, that needs to be discussed with an attorney or at the very lease with the U.S. Trustee (who conducts a meeting) and the case trustee.
I think by now you know the answer. It's the reason why the person cannot attend that is the issue.
