Unseizable property and its limits are set by law and vary by situation: consult a lawyer, trustee or budget adviser before declaring anything.
In what situations is it requested?
- a seizure announced or under way by a creditor;
- enforcement of a judgment;
- a bankruptcy or consumer proposal file;
- verification of your situation by a bailiff or a court.
What should the declaration contain?
- your identity and contact details;
- the precise list of items concerned with their description and approximate value;
- the reason you consider them protected;
- a statement of truthfulness.
How does this relate to bankruptcy?
In a bankruptcy or proposal file, the property to declare and its treatment are governed by a separate procedure, described in our article on the bankruptcy declaration.
