When you file a bankruptcy petition, you are asked to list all of your property and the value of that property. That seems like a simple question, right?
Obviously, you would include items such as the money in your pocket, the car in your driveway, and the books on your shelf.
But what if the money is not really in your pocket? What if you already wrote the rent check? Is that really your money? And how much are those books on your shelf really worth? A few cents? A few thousand dollars? Somewhere in between?
And what about potential property? What if you’re living on top of an oil well without even knowing it? Or what if someone offers you $10,000 to not tell your life’s story?
These are questions only an experienced bankruptcy attorney can answer. And as the government becomes more and more hostile to debtors, it’s more important than ever to work with a lawyer who knows how to make the laws work for you.
