My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: California

A trustee sale date is in place. November 3, 2009

A complete (by the lender's specifications) short sale package submitted to the lender on October 19th. The buyer is financially strong, conventional 20% deal, paying slightly above appraised market value of property. This is a deal that makes sense all day long.

The challenge is that the lender, IndyMac, has a strict policy about their review times of short sale packages and the procession to the sale date keeps moving. They may or may not review the short sale package in time to delay the sale, even if the short sale package makes sense and is to their benefit.

The question: If the borrower's attorney files a Chapter 13 and is granted the automatic stay, can the BK trustee, (or whomever) ORDER that IndyMac review the short sale package, and report to the court with their decision to accept the short sale offer or not, BEFORE granting a relief of stay to the lender?
