Answered by attorney Eric Allen Maskell (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Eric A. Maskell
Generally if the retirement fund is an ERISA qualified tax exempt account it will be considered exempt property. However, depending on the exemption whether you use Texas or Federal there may be a limit on the amount that is considered exempt. You would need to discuss the matter with your bankruptcy attorney to determine exactly what is exempt prior to filing.

Bankruptcy lawyer at Haven Law Group, P.C.
Yes you can. You just have to make sure that enough years have passed. If you are filing two chapter 7's back to back, you will need to wait 8 years. A 13 following a 7 is 6 years.

Bankruptcy lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
Deferred compensation is not a retirement program. You need to contact your lawyer if you have one to see what other exemptions may be available to you or if the terms of the deferred compensation say they are a retirement program you will need to get a copy of the terms from your Human Re sources Office.
