go into home?
I don`t see this question around, but i have to ask.
Can the trustee, debt agency or someone go into the home to look around and take whatever they think has value? For example a $500 couch they think is worth $6,000 if they see it. A computer worth $3,000 (at that time new) but now its worth $300 or a picture that looks old. What if it`s an heirloom? A Big screen LCD TV that has a crack or doesn`t work.

In the 20,000 files our firm has handled we have never gone into to some one’s home to re-assess thier belongings. Having said that, the law allows for it IF a creditor has reason to beleive to you have failed to properly disclose the things that you own or their worth.
So, if a bank lloaned you $50,000 to buy a baby grand piano and you tell your trustee it is “an old used piano worth $800”, well there may be problems…
