Will the trustee come to my house?

In most jurisdictions,  no one will come to your home to examine your personal belongings, unless there is a suspicion that you have hidden assets or undervalued what you own.  That is VERY RARE and should not worry you at all.   

The trustee and the judge assume that you have truthfully scheduled your assets.   Anxiety about the bankruptcy process and the fear of exposure or humiliation is created in the mind of the debtor to a far greater degree than by the reality of the judicial process.
