Will they take my wifes stocks?

I think I know the answer to this but I have not seen the topic referenced anywhere....my wife has about 10K in stock that she owned before we were hitched. I assume they will take those in a C7? Can any of it be converted to some kind of protected retirement fund without causing ourselves more problems with a trustee?
Have not filed yet...state of Nevada. We have some time on our side...maybe a few months.

My lawyer said that they the trustee would probably want mine. I have had my stock since I was a child. The only good thing about our situation is that the IRS would be first to get their share since we owe them. I was going to pay the IRS debt with the stock sale anyway, so ultimately I have no arguements.
