Although it merely feels like income to you, residuals or royalties are considered an asset from the view of a bankruptcy trustee. This is why it is crucial to have an experienced bankruptcy attorney examine your entire financial situation, not the way you see it, but the way it is seen by a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Trustee or a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Trustee. The chapter you file can affect your ability to keep those residuals yours and to have them for years to come. When you are getting ready to file bankruptcy, don’t jeopardize your livelihood. Consult with a bankruptcy expert at Ghanooni Law Firm, APC before your case is assigned to a trustee whose job it is to sell the shirt off your back in order to pay your creditors on a pro data basis.
