Before bankruptcy
Here goes…if you are getting ready to declare because you have absolutely no choice and God it is depressing and so stressful…If you are declaring for a large amount and have lost everything what happens if you have an insurance settlement pending..do they take it all…what happens to this money you are getting and do you have to tell them this…I really need to know what happens with this…I keep getting different answers…

Firstly you must disclose any assest, even an interest in an insurance settlement, or it is considered fraud and you may be ineligible for a discharge from bankruptcy.
In terms of what happens to any potential proceeds, this can change depending on the type of insurance settlement pending so you are best to review any related details with a local trustee who will then be in a better position and able to advise you what will happen.
