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.
