Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Indiana

Re: Verification of information and potential for fraud

I doubt you really want to engage in fraud, but that is what you are suggesting you are will to do. You would be better off to put the correct information in your paperwork - even if the attorney is aggravated at having to make a last minute change. Speaking from experience as the attorney who has been "fooled" by the client, most clients admit to the trustee what they have done by answering a question wrong, then everyone is in trouble, the attorney looking stupid and the client having to come up with money to save an asset or file for a 13. If this process has taken very long, it is likely that the value of the vehicle has fallen and even if it pushes you over the limit trustees generally take less than 100% on the dollar. You risk someone blabbing and the trustee knowing about the situation before your hearing starts and a complaint filed to prevent you from being discharged as to any of the debts, as well as potential perjury and criminal prosecution. Think twice before being stupid. Attorneys can also be disbarred for assisting you, although you say he doesn't know, he'll take the fall too.
