Can I Own Anything After Bankruptcy?
A San Jose bankruptcy attorney helps answer this debt question: Can I Own Anything After Bankruptcy?
Yes! Most debtors are under the impression that they will not be able to own anything, such as a home or car, for a long period of time after filing bankruptcy. It is too bad that this myth deters people that really need the Fresh Start that filing bankruptcy offers from filing because it is not the case.
Typically, a bankruptcy filer can keep their exempt property and anything they acquire after their bankruptcy is filed.
However, property settlements, inheritances or monetary benefits such as life insurance that are recieved by the bankruptcy filer within 180 days after filing for bankruptcy, may or may not end up having to be paid to thecreditors if the property or money is not exempt. To learn more, it is always recommended that you consult an experienced bankruptcy attorney.
