Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
bankruptcy
My boyfriend added me to his checking and savings accounts. Afterward I found out he was filing bankruptcy. Will this have any affect on me if there aren't any loans through his bank. We don't have any debts together.

Re: bankruptcy
His bankruptcy shouldn't have an impact on you, at least with respect to your credit rating. However, his a bank account will become an asset of the bankruptcy estate. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you do not commingle any funds with him. That last thing you need is a bankruptcy trustee trying to take your money just because it is in a joint account.
