Will My Retirement Account Be Taken in a Bankruptcy?

Know Your Rights and Preserve Your Future

There are some major misconceptions among people facing financial difficulty about what happens to their retirement accounts if they file for bankruptcy. Many people wrongly believe that their accounts will be taken in the bankruptcy to repay their creditors, so they cash the accounts out to repay the bills in order to avoid having a bankruptcy on their credit.

The truth is that all ERISA qualified retirement accounts, including 401(k)s, are considered exempt property under the bankruptcy code, which means that they cannot be seized by your trustee to repay creditors. If you are having a hard time keeping up with your bills, don’t make a decision that will impact your entire future.
