Does a trustee's duty to be accountable for all estate property continue for all estate property which the trustee has chosen not to abandon and is therefore liable for while the property is in his custody ? Or, as the Sixth Circuit has held in an unprecedented decision , is a bankruptcy trustee insulated from liability for the loss or destruction of estate property caused by the trustee's own negligence if the estate property has liens against it that may equal or exceed the market value ?

Does a bankruptcy trustee have a duty to protect estate property from damage or destruction while in the trustee's custody?
