In re Spencer

Ruling
Trustee's motion for turnover was granted since debtors were liable to estate for transfer of estate assets resulting from postpetition honoring of prepetition checks.
Procedural posture

Movant bankruptcy trustee sought an order requiring debtors to turn over funds that, the trustee alleged, remained in their bank accounts on the date of their bankruptcy petition. Debtors objected that they had written checks or otherwise committed the funds prior to filing their petition and were under no duty to turn over the funds to the trustee because the trustee had authority to recover the funds from the various payees.
