What Can I Keep If I File Bankruptcy?

One thing that causes many people who are good candidates for bankruptcy to put off talking to a attorney is the worrisome question: "What can I keep in bankruptcy?" More specifically, typical questions include:

  • "Can I keep my house?"
  • "Can I keep my car?"
  • "Can I keep my furniture, tools and family heirlooms?
  • "Can I keep tools I use to do my job?"

Perhaps because of old-fashioned stereotypes about bankruptcy, people worry about being kicked to the curb with only the clothes on their back and losing everything. In fact, most clients of Brian D. Williams, Attorney at Law, are able to keep most or all of their personal possessions after filing bankruptcy.
