Re: Childrens possesions

Generally, no. The stuff belonging to the kids is theirs. I'd worry about the car, however, because the Trustee will go by whose name is on the title.

One more thing. If you are thinking of moving assets around and putting something in your children's name, don't. That would be fraud. Bankruptcy fraud is a felony. Don't even think about it.
