Posted - 21 December 2008 : 08:56:55 Hi
you will have to declare the existence of the property once you have been declared bankrupt.
It is unlikely that the OR will permit you to continue making regular contributions to any loans / mortgage secured on the property.
I'm not sure of French property law but if possible the OR may also place a restriction on the property preventing it from being sold without your share of equity realised in the sale being passed to the OR, on sale, as part of your estate. As this property is not your matrimonial home there is no time limit for the OR / trustee to claim your share of any future sale proceeds.
