Marcia T. Dunn, Trustee

......................................................................................................................................

Ms. Dunn has served as one of the five Chapter 7 panel Bankruptcy Trustees in Miami-Dade County since 1992. Ms. Dunn conducts hearings on several thousand cases annually, and administers several hundred open asset cases per year, for the benefit of creditors. Ms. Dunn has also served as an operating trustee and as a court appointed examiner in Chapter 11 business cases. She is experienced in the liquidation of all types of assets, including real estate, personal property of all kinds and intangible property.

The primary role of a chapter 7 trustee in an asset case is to liquidate the debtor's nonexempt assets in a manner that maximizes the return to the debtor's unsecured creditors. The trustee accomplishes this by selling the debtor's property if it is free and clear of liens (as long as the property is not exempt) or if it is worth more than any security interest or lien attached to the property and any exemption that the debtor holds in the property. The trustee may also attempt to recover money or property under the trustee's "avoiding powers." The trustee's avoiding powers include the power to: set aside preferential transfers made to creditors within 90 days before the petition; undo security interests and other prepetition transfers of property that were not properly perfected under nonbankruptcy law at the time of the petition; and pursue nonbankruptcy claims such as fraudulent conveyance and bulk transfer remedies available under state law. In addition, if the debtor is a business, the bankruptcy court may authorize the trustee to operate the business for a limited period of time, if such operation will benefit creditors and enhance the liquidation of the estate.
