Bankruptcy doesn't change your obligation to maintain, care for, and ability to lose things you own...just as before it. You probably still own your home, why wouldn't you want to insure it and its contents and all the other things HO Ins covers? And of course, as part of your filing and the court agreeing to protect you from creditors (your insurance company is not a creditor on bills for after the BK filing), you swore to the court you would do all the things needed to protect and maintain all your assets. And of course....the insurance I presume is protection for some period after your filing.....and your bankruptcy is protection ONLY for things from before it. Everything after the filing is YOUR personal and basically unavoidable repsonsibility...and risk of loss.
