Re: will I lose my money or home?

This is one of the many reasons I advise people not to put their children's name on their house or account.

Close the account. Open a new account without his name and put your money their.

If you need someone to do your banking have an attorney draft a power of attorney for that purpose.

If your sons name is not on your home it will not be involved in the bankruptcy.

Good luck to you.
