How do I protect my home and cash in a bankruptcy?

David Michael Benson
Answered by attorney David Michael Benson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Benson Law Firm
If your motor home can be considered your homestead and the value falls below the applicable exemption amount, that home should be protected from the reach of your creditors. If the cash is held in a qualified retirement account as defined by ERISA, that amount may be outside the bankruptcy estate and thus not distributable by the Chapter 7 trustee. If the savings account is not tax-exempt, those funds are likely to be an attractive target for the trustee.
