If you have an outstanding debt, a bailiff may be ordered to seize your goods. However, that does not mean that just about everything can be confiscated. The law protects a number of basic goods that are necessary to guarantee a dignified life.

Below is an overview of the most important goods that are always protected. The full list can be found on the site of the National Chamber of Bailiffs: https://www.gerechtsdeurwaarders.be/de-gerechtsdeurwaarder/praktische-informatie/niet-voor-beslag-vatbare-goederen.
