Hi all,

Hope you're all well as can be at the moment frown

A couple of questions for the knowledgeable PHers:

1. If your spouse goes bankrupt, are only assets that are only in their name at risk from creditors? Is the other partner's assets/cash/pensions at risk by reason of their married status?

2. For the spouse being bankrupted, if they are already drawing a pension as a result of a career in emergency services (police in this case) is that pension also at risk from creditors/bankruptcy? Or is it protected?

Ta,

J.

A starter for ten, looks like there are some grey areas but it gives some general advice about liabilities and exclusions...
