Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New York

Re: Bankruptcy

Any assets that are in the debtor's name are subject to the Trustee's scrutiny and possible seizure. Transfer of assets between family members must be completed and a "lookback" period of time must pass before filing to ensure the Trustee has no claim on the asset.

Contact an attorney who is geographically close to you with whom you feel comfortable to discuss your situation. The state bar association or your county's bar association can be good sources of referrals if you need one.
