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.

I suggest you consult with competent counsel.
