Should you wait until your house goes into foreclsure then file bankruptcy?

Richard Alan Alsobrook
Answered by attorney Richard Alan Alsobrook (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Alan Alsobrook
Timing issues are very important when filing bankruptcy.  There are numerous issues to consider as to timing of the bankruptcy filing such as exemption planning or looming garnishments.  You need to discuss you specific facts and circumstances with a local bankruptcy attorney to determine when and if to file. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information. Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.

Can buyers bankruptcy affect owner finance property?

Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "come after".   If you wish to foreclose, you must apply to the bankruptcy court for permission to do so.  If you have the first mortgage on the property, then you must be paid if the property is sold, regardless of whether it is sold by the bankruptcy trustee or the debtor. You don't disclose which chapter of bankruptcy was filed, so I have no way to advise whether they are seeking to bring current the payments on the mortgage (such as through a Chapter 13 case). You should consult with a bankruptcy attorney in the location where the case was filed for more details. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Can someone elaborate on chapter 13 dismissal and how it works?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Carl C Silver (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carl C. Silver Attorney at Law
When your chapter 13 gets dismissed you will revert to the status quo you had before you filed the chapter 7. In other words, all of your creditors will get notified of the dismissal and can try to collect money from you again.
