What are the trustees powers?
The trustee has the power to sell any divisible asset of the bankrupt, investigate the affairs of the bankrupt and exam the bankrupt and others under oath, conduct and sell any business of the bankrupt, admit debts and distribute dividends. The trustee is empowered to exercise all of the rights and powers that the bankrupt would have had if they had not become bankrupt, plus has recovery powers that the bankrupt does not have.
