How do you protect your personal assets in a bankruptcy?

Robert Louis Peters
Answered by attorney Robert Louis Peters (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Robert L. Peters, Attorney
That is a very difficult and complex question. The simple answer is that you dont protect your assets. Selling, hiding or giving away assets in contemplation of bankruptcy is a crime. Bankruptcy sometimes means you give up assets in order to discharge more in liabilities. This one really reacquires a meeting with an attorney and a thorough explanation of the purpose and procedure in bankruptcy.

If my creditors have not repossessed my property by now, is it mine at this point in the bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Tony Mankus (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Mankus & Marchan, Ltd.
If you filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy, all of your non-exempt property belonged to the Trustee. If the Trustee chose not to sell it, it reverted back to you after your case was discharged. However, if the vehicle was financed and had a remaining lien, the lender can still repossess the vehicle even though any remaining balance due was discharged. You should talk to the lender and/or consult with your bankruptcy attorney.

What will happen to the judgment if bankruptcy is filed?

Giovanni Orantes
Answered by attorney Giovanni Orantes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Orantes Law Firm
The judgment becomes an asset of the bankruptcy estate at that time, which the Chapter 7 trustee may decide to try to collect from you or sell to a third party, including you. That means that you could try to purchase it from the Trustee ideally for less than the full amount awarded. If the Chapter 7 Trustee does not administer the judgment, it reverts back to the Debtor, who can then collect from you.
