    I have worked with Seth and he is the utmost professional in how he works with his clients. If you need an attorney you can trust I would highly recommend the Law Office of Seth Hanson.

  • 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. I would recommend you.

  • 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.

  • Very Impressed!

    I liked that you had very friendly, caring staff. You were all very knowledgeable. Your treatment towards me was excellent and you quickly responded to all my concerns. If a friend asked of your overall impression, I would say that we were very impressed and we would recommend you to them.

What Is The “bankruptcy Estate?

When filing for bankruptcy, all of your property (including your bank accounts and the funds contained within) becomes part of a “bankruptcy estate” which is administered by a court-appointed bankruptcy trustee for the duration of your case. It is absolutely vital to understand what property of yours is included in the bankruptcy estate before filing and the limitations for what you can do with these assets while your case is active.

After filing for bankruptcy, a “bankruptcy estate” is formed and the estate becomes the temporary owner of your  property. While your case remains open, it is vital that you do not sell or transfer any property included in the  bankruptcy estate. Otherwise, the proceeds from the sale of your property can be given to the bankruptcy trustee so that they may use them pay your creditors, even if your property was exempted when you filed. While there are exemptions available to protect your assets from liquidation, if those assets are sold or transferred while your case is pending then it could result in your being unable to keep these funds. If you are considering transferring or selling any property while in an active bankruptcy, please contact your bankruptcy attorney first so or otherwise it could adversely affect your case, at large.

If you would like to learn more about how a bankruptcy court would handle your
property if you were to file, please feel free to reach out to your Yuba City bankruptcy attorney at (530) 797-4402.
