It is important to remember that there are laws in place to protect debtors from unfair treatment by creditors. Under the Bankruptcy Code, debtors are allowed to keep certain assets exempt from the bankruptcy estate, and these exemptions vary by state. It is best to consult a qualified attorney who can advise you as to your best course of action and what specific steps need to be taken in order for you to satisfactorily file for bankruptcy while protecting your assets.

It is important to understand that hiding assets from creditors is not a good idea when filing for bankruptcy as it could result in criminal charges.  Instead, it is best to find ways to protect assets through appropriate legal means. Bankruptcy proceedings are complex and the best option is to seek professional advice from an experienced bankruptcy attorney before making any decisions. In some cases, an individual can transfer assets into a trust or set up a special purpose vehicle (SPV) which might provide protection from creditors. Again though, this should only be done after taking advice from a legal professional as the consequences of getting it wrong can be significant.
