What happens if I make changes to my Bankruptcy case?

What happens if I make changes on my bankruptcy?
I filed for bankruptcy. and I'm having family and former friend problems, well on my bankruptcy petition everything was right on the paper work until I found property held for: friend and family. I told my lawyer not to put this in the petition , it makes no sense because I told my lawyer I can ask to get the property pick up. But he told me don't worry about it. but I do because I don't want to put my family and former friends property on my bankruptcy. I filed bankruptcy, not them. So I tried to get my friend to pick up his property. Well, I can't find him and his wife or his family , their old neighbors told them I was looking for them and the neighbors replied from them with threats to me because I filed bankruptcy. I tried to call the former friend but the number is no longer in service but they said a year ago they will pick up their property and never did. That's why I say former friend.
Next, my brother-in law property is at my home. I told them I filed Bankruptcy. And then I ask both of my brothers-law who property it is. they told me its not theirs. So, I return back to my lawyer and ask him to change (Amended) the property held for to my property on (exempt) because both my friend and brothers-in law do not want to claim the property.

Question to all who can answer, did I do the right thing by changing my paperwork on the bankruptcy petition? Because I have to go under oath and tell the truth to a Creditor Trustee.

I think my former friend and brothers-in law did not want to claim the property because I filed Bankruptcy and they are worried that their personal information will be compromised by the courts.

It can be added to the Statement of FInancial Affairs. Yes, you did right but at the same time you needed to disclose ALL information when you filed. All information has to be accurate at the time of filing.
