Bankruptcy and International Assets in Los Angeles

American Debts and Foreign Assets in Bankruptcy

U.S. citizens with foreign assets have unique concerns when it comes to bankruptcy. If you are in this situation, you undoubtedly have many questions:

  • Do I need to claim property located in another country?
  • Does the bankruptcy court have jurisdiction over my international assets?

For answers to your most pressing questions, speak with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in Los Angeles.

At RHM LAW LLP, we understand how important your international assets are. Whether your case involves a house, bank account or other foreign asset, our lawyers will explain the process for handling these matters.

Call our offices in Los Angeles or Encino at (213) 344-0043 to schedule a free consultation.

Do I Need to List International Assets?

If you have a house, bank account, investment property or other asset outside the country, you must include these assets on your bankruptcy petition. While it may seem as though the bankruptcy trustee should not have jurisdiction abroad, that is simply not the case. Some or all of these assets may be considered exempt under the Bankruptcy Code, but you still must disclose them.

Failure to inform your bankruptcy attorney about foreign assets when filing either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is considered concealing assets. This could result in the dismissal of your bankruptcy petition, criminal charges, and loss of the property in question.
