Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Wisconsin

I would recommend that you consult your bankruptcy lawyer immediately. If you truly did not own or possess the jewelry when the bankruptcy was filed, you had no obligation to report it. However, if you forgot to list it or intentionally concealed it from the trustee, you could have a much bigger problem. Options such as amending your bankruptcy paperwork to correct the situation may still be available to you. You also do not state the value of these items. If the total value of the jewelry was less than $200, it may not be too great of a concern. I would also recommend that you have an attorney reply to your insurer�s inquiries, both in order to protect your claim and the make sure that you don't get yourself into trouble.
