Best Answer

If creditors believe the person is trying to remove funds from accounts to keep them from bankruptcy proceedings; creditors can petition the court to freeze all accounts/assets. A bank cannot arbitraily seize account funds unless the depositer has a loan with the bank which includes a set off provision. Even then the bankruptcy trustee can request the funds be returned and included as assets in the bankruptcy.

What does it mean when SBA or the bank wins judgment against your assets?

The plaintiff may now demand that a bank or broker freeze your accounts, and that a sheriff of marshal seize accounts or other property. The plaintiff may also file a lien against any recorded property, such as real estate. If the assets are hard to find, the plaintiff may require a deposition called a debtor's examination to require you to disclose your assets. Certain assets may be protected from seizure by federal or state bankruptcy laws.


How does a bankruptcy trustee investigate a debtor?

It is rare that a bankruptcy trustee really investigates a debtor. There have to be a large amount of questionable assets or, like in a Chapter 11, types of assets that would send a trustee to your house. When they do, they look into bank accounts and physical assets such as furniture, houses, cars and even clothes.

How long until a bank seizes your house after you file for bankruptcy?

Most banks won't seize your home after bankruptcy. One of the key purposes of bankruptcy is to preserve the living assets and provide the individual with another chance (albeit with a lot less credit flexibility). Note: I am NOT a certified financial planner (CFP) and am NOT licensed to provide financial advice. [opinion] If you are in a situation where foreclosure is on the horizon and you have tried to negotiate with creditors to no avail, you will want to consider bankruptcy in order to hold onto your home. While the debt associated with your mortgage may not be forgiven as a result of the bankruptcy, you WILL force a renegotiation and you WILL keep your home.


When filing for bankruptcy and owing to a line of credit does the bank still keep the house even if this one is protected with a homestead insurance?
