What will happen if the 401,000 lump sum in bankruptcy has been cashed out and spent?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
You certainly are going to have to explain how you spend that huge amount of money and have a reasonable explanation. If taken out of the 401k then it loses the exemption that you would otherwise be entitled to protect the money. You certainly need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney and be represented in the case if the attorney thinks you should file a bankruptcy case.

How much of my inheritance will the trustee keep on a Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
The trustee has the right to the amount of the inheritance necessary to pay the unsecured creditors in full and the trustee's fee on the money (usually 5%). For example, if your Chapter 13 plan had $50,000 in secured creditors and is paying them 10% (a total of $5,000), the trustee can take $47,250. $45,000 to pay the creditors and $2,250 for his fee. It might not be as bad as it sounds, the only unsecured creditors that are included are those who filed the proof of claim form. Many unsecured creditors don't bother, so check how much was filed. A little bit of planning would have avoided this problem, your attorney should have asked you in the first meeting if you expect a substantial inheritance. Even if your parents are healthy - a Chapter 13 plan takes 5 years and a lot can happen to older folks in 5 years (heck, a lot can happen to a 20 year old in five years) - your parents could have established a trust to protect your inheritance.

Can the trustee just take the money from my bank account after I filed chapter 7?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
No, the trustee can't just take money from your bank account when you file a Chapter 7 but the Bankruptcy Court can. I'm sure the trustee filed a motion for turnover with the court and you didn't file any response to the motion. Then the Court issued an order forcing your bank to give the money to the trustee. Your attorney probably withdrew because she/he found out that you had committed bankruptcy fraud by failing to list all your assets. Losing the $10,000 might not be the worst of your problems, I'm sure that the trustee has notified the U.S. Trustee that she/he suspects you've committed bankruptcy fraud and you could be facing criminal charges. DO NOT LIE TO YOUR ATTORNEY. DO NOT LIE ON YOUR BANKRUPTCY PETITION. DO NOT LIE WHEN UNDER OATH. DO NOT LIE TO YOUR SPOUSE/GIRLFRIEND (okay, that last is probably a bit far as legal advice but my wife was reading over my shoulder). Certainly, money problems can seem terrible, but - compared to going to prison - money problems are easy.
