What assets do I list in my bankruptcy case?
In a bankruptcy filing, you must list all of your assets, including:
- Real property, such as your primary residence, rental properties, and vacation homes
- Personal property, such as vehicles, jewelry, art, furniture, and electronics
- Cash and bank accounts
- Retirement accounts, such as 401(k)s, IRAs, and pensions
- Investment accounts, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds
- Business interests, such as ownership in a partnership or corporation
- Life insurance policies with cash value
- Tools of the trade or equipment necessary for your occupation
- Unsecured debts, such as credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans
