How do I keep my personal property in bankruptcy?
A San Jose bankruptcy attorney recommends How do I keep my personal property in bankruptcy?
Answer: Many debtors fear they will lose their personal property in bankruptcy. A debtor will only lose their personal property if they file Chapter 7 liquidation. In most cases, however, even if a debtor files for Chapter 7 there is a good chance the debtor can keep most of their property. Specifically, debtors are entitled to statutory exemptions that preclude the trustee from liquidating assets up to a certain value.
An experienced attorney can provide valuable insight in determining whether a debtor’s personal property may be entirely exempted. Moreover, an experienced bankruptcy attorney can also provide instruction to a debtor on how to convert non-exempt assets into exempt assets pre-filing to ensure that a debtor may keep their personal property in bankruptcy.
