Many people avoid bankruptcy because they fear they will lose their assets. In reality, bankruptcy can help you retain your assets, and even save your home from foreclosure, or your car from repossession. You may lose more assets by failing to file for bankruptcy at all. If you file a bankruptcy case, the law will immediately protect you from creditors' attempts to seize your assets. If you decide to voluntarily surrender your home or car because you can't afford the payments, a bankruptcy may protect you from any deficiency claim by the lenders.

Certain assets are protected by law

There are certain assets that are protected under state and federal law, called "exempt" property, which cannot be taken by creditors or the bankruptcy court if you file for bankruptcy. Regardless of the type of bankruptcy you file, you can rest assured that under most circumstances the following items will be protected:

  • Pension Plans
  • 401Ks
  • Annuities
  • Wages of a head of household
  • Social security payments
  • Disability benefits
  • And if you meet certain requirements, the equity in your home will be exempt
  • A portion of the equity in your vehicle is also protected.
