When you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy everything you own is temporarily not yours. Your property becomes part of the “bankruptcy estate” which means it is subject to the bankruptcy court’s authority. While much of your property will be exempt, there are certain common categories of property which will be lost by filing bankruptcy.
