Each province has certain\u00a0assets a bankrupt person may keep<\/strong>. Beyond those limits, your\u00a0assets will need to be sold<\/strong>. This is the trustee\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n Once you\u00a0file for\u00a0bankruptcy<\/strong><\/a>, your\u00a0excess assets<\/strong>\u00a0are assigned to your trustee so that they are able to\u00a0sell\u00a0them. You are not allowed to sell<\/strong> them. The money the trustee receives from the sale is held in trust for your creditors and paid to them as part of the process to settle your estate.<\/p>\n In addition to\u00a0surplus asset guidelines<\/strong>, there are also\u00a0surplus income guidelines<\/strong>. Depending on your total income and your personal and family situation, your trustee will advise you how much of your income is above the\u00a0allowable income\u00a0guideline in your bankruptcy<\/a>. You will be required to pay a percentage of your\u00a0surplus income<\/strong>\u00a0to your trustee, typically on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” next_background_color=”#5b25af” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”8px||-2px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||-1px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”1px||140px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”35px||89px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”55px||||false|false” bottom_divider_style=”ramp2″ da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ module_class=”custom_row” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”vertical-align second-on-mobile” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Continue on to steps 4-6:\u00a0Creditor Notifications, Creditor and \/ or OSB Meeting<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– Your creditors are notified of your bankruptcy and a meeting may be called to give directions to your trustee.
