Moving during Bankruptcy

biggayowl

I’m about to submit my application for bankruptcy (Scottish MAP Sequestration), but am likely to be moving country (to Canada) during the six months I’ll be bankrupt. Has anyone else done similar?

I will notify my trustee of address and any circumstance changes. I’ve spoken to the AIB who confirmed I’m perfectly entitled to move once the process is in motion, so long as I keep them informed.

What implications will there be for me in Canada? All my debt is UK based. I realise I will need to update the trustee every six months for four years, but I’m assuming they can’t take any assets I obtain during those four years outside the country.

Thanks.

Nothing will follow you to Canada, just keep them updated on where you are and earnings and you should be fine, enjoy Canada, its a dream of mine to visit.

Thanks. My concern was that the OR / AIB will notify overseas banks, once accounts have been set up.

just in the final stages of my MAP (minimal assets) application form and it turns out the trustee can take any assets acquired up to four years after discharge!!!


What is the liklihood of them pursuing foreign assets? If I've been luck enough to get a joint mortgage within those four years, would they then look to extract my share of any equity? Do they have any authority to do so?



Thanks
