A: Are you speaking of the risk to you, or to the LLC? Are you filing personally or filing the LLC? or Both? or seeking joint administration.

I would suggest that you visit a good BRKTY lawyer to get specific answers to your particular questions.

Good Luck

A: In Kentucky since you own the LLC solely it is solely your asset. A Trustee may be able to sell assets of the LLC. If the LLC had other members this is generally not possible for the Trustee.
