Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida
Exemptions
I have given my vehicle to my mother as a gift. Is it legal in Florida when filing for Chapter 7, to give a vehicle to a family member as a gift prior to retaining counsel and/or filing? The approximate value of the vehicle is $1,500 - $2,000. I am considering filiing in the next 30-60 days.

Re: Exemptions
It is legal to give the gift. However, it may be subject to being set aside by the Trustee in Bankruptcy as a fraudulent transfer.
I suggest you consult with competent counsel.
