Hi
I am considering bankruptcy but one of my concerns is that I have a classic car in my garage that gave to my son 3 years ago on his 25th birthday. The car is registered to me as he has nowhere of his own to keep it. I thinks value would be of interest to the authorities. I don't want to be seen to 'hiding' it but I would also be very upset (as would my son)if they took it away because I can't prove it's his.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Pete

Hi Pete,

It will more than likely be at risk, how much is the car worth?

I think if you were to sell the car for a realistic value and put that money back into the estate that should be OK...but this is one for an expert.

If the car is of nominal value then a gift is not a problem. If however if your were is a financial challenge when you gave the car away AND it is of significant vale then there is likely to be a problem.

Really suggest you get some telephone advice on the matter.
