The OR will take very little from you. They will not visit your home, and will only be interested in any assets you have which will raise a high value at auction, for example, fine art, antiques, collections.
Everything in an average household will not be touched by the OR.
There are however a few very important exclusions that you’ll need to know as there may come a time when you need to use this information. You are allowed to keep: “tools, books, vehicles and other items of equipment as are necessary to the bankrupt for use personally by him in his employment, business or vocation” in addition to “clothing, bedding, furniture, household equipment and provisions” necessary for satisfying the basic domestic needs of you and your family.
