Are there any assets that I will be required to sell when filing for bankruptcy?

Yes, when filing for bankruptcy in Kansas there are certain assets that you may be required to sell. These assets are called non-exempt assets. Non-exempt assets are any assets that are not protected from creditors or bankruptcy trustees. These assets include things like real estate, investments, expensive jewelry, yachts, income tax refunds and handguns. Depending on your income level, your specific location, and the type of bankruptcy you file for, you may not be required to sell any of your non-exempt assets. For example, under Chapter 7 bankruptcy—the type of bankruptcy most commonly used for individuals—many of your assets are exempt from liquidation. This means you may not be required to sell any of your assets in order to pay off your debts. However, if you have any assets that are not exempt, the trustee will require you to sell them and use the proceeds to repay your creditors. It’s important to note that, even if you are not required to sell your non-exempt assets, you may still be required to use the proceeds from the sale of these assets to repay your creditors. This is why it is important to consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney to determine the best course of action for your individual situation.
