When you declare bankruptcy, you must report all your assets and liabilities. If you want to protect property, you must be sure to cover it with an appropriate exemption. Only a lawyer can advise you of the appropriate exemptions to use. Anyone else doing so would be practicing law without a license. I would mention that a bankruptcy does not rid you of property you cannot sell, although you can state that you want to surrender it in the bankruptcy. You still have to go through appropriate legal steps to convey the property back to the lender. The conveyance gets more complicated if there is more than one lien on the property, so you really should consult a lawyer to determine your best strategy. Otherwise, you might be wasting your time or your money.
