    Kids savings accounts

    Me and the wife are looking at filing for a Ch. 7 sometime later this year, early next year-- when the prior one ages out. We were going to take part of our paltry $200 tax return and start a savings account apiece for a two sons (7 and newborn). What is the risk to our kids savings from bill collectors in the meantime and/or we have to report these accounts in a BK filing?

    Ultimately they'll be listed as assets on your petition but I'm sure you'll be able to exempt them.
    Well, I did. Every one of 'em. Mostly I remember the last one. The wild finish. A guy standing on a station platform in the rain with a comical look in his face because his insides have been kicked out. -Rick

      And I can assume a Savings Bond (which would be my preferred way of "locking up" the money) would be an asset even if they were listed as the sole owner?

        Yes...are you worried about $200? Stash it under a mattress for awhile if you are that worried about it being taken. You can always include it in your cash on hand on your schedules if you remember.
