Starting A Business Before Filing?

Question:
I've delayed filing my chapter 7 till after I get my fed/state returns back? Would it be acceptable to use those funds (about $1000) to start a small business (Inc.)? I've been advised by by BK attorney to spend then file, but would like to do something usefull with it?

Answer:
Depends on the nature of the business, whether it is a sham, whether it generates or is likely to generate income, the jurisdiction, the trustee, and the details of your case. IOW, ask your lawyer.
