This is usually when an asset is important to a debtor. It may be because they think nobody knows about it and think they can hide it from the bankruptcy trustee.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 7 bankruptcy filers tempted to leave out assets of the bankruptcy schedules should reconsider. A requirement is full disclosure.\u00a0 Listing all property is a requirement.\u00a0 You must swear to this.\u00a0 Also they must take an oath at the meeting of creditors. If you haven\u2019t disclosed all of your assets you will commit perjury.<\/p>\n<h2>Maintaining The Assets You Have<\/h2>\n<p>Penalties for committing perjury include time in prison and or fines. Also, the bankruptcy trustee will seize the asset and liquidate it to pay your creditors. Amending the schedule of exemptions to apply exemptions toward the concealed assets is not likely if you purposely did not disclose the asset.\u00a0 It is never advisable to hide an asset.<\/p>\n<p>Telling the bankruptcy court that you told your attorney about the asset but the attorney said it didn&#8217;t have to be listed usually does not work.\u00a0 It usually does not work to say the lawyer forgot to list the asset. You must read and sign a disclosure.\u00a0 This states that you are aware that it is illegal to hide or not disclose assets.\u00a0 Attorneys should review the bankruptcy petition with you to make sure all assets are listed.<\/p>\n<p>Bankruptcy debtors do not have the right to dismiss their bankruptcy case because they don\u2019t want to complete the process. Once bankruptcy proceedings have begun, the debtor must show good cause for dismissing the case. Trustees that find concealed assets are not likely to dismiss a case.<\/p>\n<h2>Asset Exemptions<\/h2>\n<p>The only legal way to protect assets in bankruptcy from Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation is to apply one of the many available exemptions toward the asset. State and federal law allow bankruptcy debtors to keep certain types and quantities of assets after a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of exemptions in under Massachusetts bankruptcy law to protect your property and assets.\u00a0 The bankruptcy exemptions are generous and very rarely does anyone lose property.<\/p>\n<p>Use of bankruptcy exemptions allows an experienced bankruptcy attorney to protect all of your assets.\u00a0 Almost all cases have property that is fully protected.\u00a0 The bankruptcy exemptions are generally very generous and are enough to protect people\u2019s assets in most cases.\u00a0 Chapter 13 bankruptcy protects assets not protected in chapter 7.\u00a0 This allows one to keep the asset.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re considering filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy call a bankruptcy lawyer.\u00a0 Let an experienced bankruptcy attorney help you identify legal strategies for keeping those assets. In Massachusetts bankruptcy attorney Robert Simonian and bankruptcy Anthony Bucacci can help you keep your assets.\u00a0 We can resolve their debt and insolvency issues in Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

You can make your situation much, much worse.

If you are not properly represented a bankruptcy trustee may foreclose on your house, allow your car to be repossessed, seize a tax refund or other assets. You could file under the wrong chapter, apply the wrong exemptions, fail to file all of the necessary forms or not understand the significance of important forms.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Protect Yourself:<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Call us today for a free and complete bankruptcy consultation.
