Bankruptcy is supposed to give you a fresh start. That is why you are able to keep your belongings listed on the exemptions in Nova Scotia. Most bankrupts are able to keep all of their personal assets because most bankrupts have few or even no assets. If you have significant assets your trustee will work with you to find an alternative to going bankrupt if at all possible. A consumer proposal, for example, gives you debt relief and protection from your creditors but also allows you to keep all of your assets. For example, if you had a home worth $100,000 with no mortgage on it you would have to surrender your home and lose the equity if you went bankrupt, but if you made a consumer proposal to your creditors you would be able to keep your home.BANKRUPTCYCANADA
