Once you receive your discharge and your case has been closed, you are free to do whatever you want with your property. It is important not to transfer any property while the case is proceeding, however (unless your attorey okays it, of course)!

I am not an attorney, so please check with one. However, anything that you do to convey property etc before bankruptcy is suspect. The point of bankruptcy is to get a fresh start; not, hand off something you want to keep in an effort to defraud creditors.

If your thinking "Hand off my house to a relative" then file bankruptcy. Bad idea.

The term used is "contemporaneous" You may want to look online at the US Bankruptcy court statues. There are certain time limits enforced. If you do something that is suspect, your case could be thrown out. Or, you may not receive a discharge.

You have to be 100% truthful in bankruptcy.
