Can you keep your paid off can worth 12000.00 and IRA when filing bankruptcy?
Not if its a chapter 7 BK; there is too much equity (value) in the car (since most vehicle exemptions are about $3,000 or lower. If filing chapter 13, it might be possible to keep the car. But if its a chapter 7, it is highly likely that the car would be seized and sold off by the BK trustee to pay off your creditors, or make you pay the difference between the car value and car exemption. (and before you ask- NO, do NOT sell your car to friends/family/neighbors, etc... for a $1)
