During the bankruptcy
In bankruptcy, the bankruptcy estate takes over all financial rights, including assets.
The Trustee ( a lawayer appointed by the court ) has custody of the bankruptcy estate and makes decisions regarding the disposal of the assets and rights of the bankruptcy estate during the liquidation.
Properties
The Trustee decides how the assets are disposed of.
You get to keep property that is not subject to foreclosure, such as furniture and other things to maintain a simple home and things that are necessary due to disability or ill health.
Bank accounts
The Trustee will request that all your accounts and payment cards be closed.
You can always open a new savings account or get a prepaid credit card.
Income
You have custody of the income you earn during the bankruptcy process.
Self Employed
The liquidator makes a decision on how the business operations of the bankruptcy estate and its mutual agreements will be handled.
The bankruptcy estate takes over a share that an individual may have in a company and tries to bring it to a value.
The liquidator can request that your VAT number be blocked and you be removed from the payroll register.
