Failing to reveal possessions in a bankruptcy situation is a severe problem and may be bankruptcy fraud. Expectatly, every day somebody will ask if he or she can reassign a piece of real estate or a vehicle to a family member or buddy in an effort to keep the property if he or she decides to file for bankruptcy. The straightforward answer, nonetheless, is no you cannot and should not attempt to do so. Any reallocation of property to a family member or other "insider" can result in a number of problems such as the possibility that the Trustee of the bankruptcy court carries an action to recuperate the property from whom ever it was reallocated to. If a reallocation has been made to an "insider" within a year (and sometimes longer) you run the risk of generating serious problems in your bankruptcy. In the event you reallocate property and do not disclose the transfer you have now possibly opened your self to a wide variety of civil and criminal penalties. All earnings, assets, debts, liabilities, and so forth need to be disclosed. Full disclosure is the rule in bankruptcy.If you have any questions or concerns regarding the bankruptcy rules and laws, it's best to contact your syndic de faillite Montreal.

In numerous situations failing to reveal property is not only illegal it really is unnecessary.
