In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you need not lose anything as long as you follow the payment plan. In Chapter 7 or liquidation, there are certain assets that can be kept. It is dependent on the bankruptcy amount exemptions. In California, there are 2 sets of exemptions. Set 1 provides exemption for homestead, personal property, insurance, pensions, public benefits, tools of trade and wages . System 2, almost the same as System 1 but it has the wild card system. If the individual does not own property, he/she can use the value of the homestead for any property chosen. For an official opinion, it is advised you seek legal counsel.
