rental deposit

[okiemom2008]

We filed and are awaiting 341 meeting. We exempted our current rental deposit but are moving houses and putting another deposit down on the new house. Obviously, it is not exempted since it happened after we filed.

Attorney says day after we file we are free to do or buy anything we want without worrying about trustee taking it. Is this true? Do you think he will take the new deposit?

You are safe. You are paying a deposit with cash or other assets that you were able to keep through the bankruptcy. They can't control what you do with the money now.
