all ERISA qualified retirement plans are protected from creditors in a BK.
No. Never. It is exempt and protected.
NO. Absolutely fully protected...
Yes, but it is one of the absolute stupidest things financially you can do. By the end of th BK you will lose the 401k money, which is only protected while it is IN the 401k, and be left with the debt to the plan, which won't be discharged and will seize the money in the plan to be paid.
No. It is protected by law.
Generally speaking, 401k's are protected from judgements.
Yes.
These assets should not be effected at all.
BK is a Federal thing...and 401k is exempt everywhere.
Yes
No...you must disclose it but it will be exempt.
What are you possibly trying to say? (Your 401k is exempt from seizure and process in BK you know).
No, even under the new bankruptcy laws which will go into effect on Oc. 17th, 401K's are still exempt from BK.f However, filing a Chapter 7, will be nearly impossible for the average consumer after the October deadline, and any BK can face automatic dismissal for any number of reasons.
