  • Non-judgmental.

    You were very open and answered all of my questions. You never made me feel like I was asking a dumb question. I was comfortable with your knowledge of the law. It was hard for me to make this decision to move forward in my life. Everyone was friendly to me and respectful. Non-judgmental. Every question I asked was answered promptly and appropriately.

  • More Than Expected!

    I found the firm's representation to be more than what I expected. I was always kept in the loop, all my questions were answered (whether or not I asked more than once the same question), and I felt completely supported by the firm staff when going through this (at times) scary ordeal. Thank you again.

Bank Accounts In Bankruptcy

Will my bank accounts be frozen?

Most of the time, bank accounts are not frozen after filing bankruptcy. However, there are some occasions where a bank may choose to freeze an account. A.) If an account was not listed on the petition, it may be frozen. B. If in account’s balance was listed incorrectly on the date of filing the account may be frozen. Banks will take this approach if funds were omitted from the petition in order to ensure that assets that weren’t disclosed are not liquidated without the bankruptcy court’s knowledge.

Will my bank close my account?

Most banks do not close accounts in response to a bankruptcy. However, there are a few credit unions in northern California that do close accounts in response to a bankruptcy. If you have a credit union that decides to close your account you are usually given a notice period to make alternate arrangements for your automatic deposits and withdrawals before services are terminated.

Can I continue to use my account normally after reporting bank balances?

On the morning your case is filed your bankruptcy attorney’s office will ask you for your current bank account balances and cash on hand before your case is filed with the court. You can continue to use your accounts after your bank balances are reported. The trustee that is appointed to your case, will confirm with bank statements that your balance was correct on the day of filing.
