No, but you should fill complete your bankruptcy papers like he does.
A trustee has no right to enter your house without a Court order, just like anyone else. You have the right to tell anyone one that they can not come into your house. It might be possible for a trustee to get such an order. In 30 years of practice, I have never seen it…
BUT
you should disclose everything. Not being truthful, complete and accurate will hurt you in the long run. I have seen cases where appropriate disclosure would have provided the person filing bankruptcy with a much better result. Tell your attorney about everything. Failure to disclose an asset could cause trouble from the small (having to appear at a continued meeting of creditors) to bigger (not being able to keep the asset that was not listed) to the worst trouble (loosing the asset and not getting a discharge).
An honest mistake will not cause a denial of discharge. The hard part is convincing a trustee and a judge that it was a mistake. If you forget to list a car you have not driven in 20 years you have much better odds that if it is the car you dove to Court in.
