What Property Is Included in the Bankruptcy Estate?
When you declare bankruptcy, anything that you have a property interest in becomes an asset of your bankruptcy estate. All assets of the bankruptcy estate must be listed on your bankruptcy petition, or you may be putting your discharge in jeopardy.
Bankruptcy attorneys even recommend that you list valueless entities that you have an interest in so that the trustee and creditors can make a full investigation into your financial affairs. Until the trustee's interest in your entity has been disclaimed by the trustee, you cannot sign away your interest in the entity without the trustee's permission. This can make decision-making tricky for other members of the LLC, if the bankruptcy process is long and ongoing.
