How do I file to prevent a debt I am owed from being discharged in chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Angelo Anthony Gasparri
Answered by attorney Angelo Anthony Gasparri (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Gasparri Law Group
If you have a debt for "fraud" you can seek to have that debt declared Non-Dischargeable by the Bankruptcy Court.  Unfortunately, this requires a few steps.  The starting point is the actual Judgment you received.  Did it include findings that the Debtor committed fraud?  How much of your damages were associated with Fraud?   Unfortunatley, more often than not, the state court judgment is not clear.   This will cause some challenges.   In general, there may need to be a lawsuit in bankruptcy to have the debt declared non-dischargeable under 523(A)(4).  You will be suing to prove the exact nature of the debt and how much will survive the bankruptcy.  If it was 100% clear, you will likely find that Debtor's counsel will be working with you to get to a stipulation that addresses this issue.   This is a VERY DIFFICULT process to do without an attorney.  Especially because the bias in Bankruptcy court is that the Debt will not survive discharge.

You should talk to your bankruptcy lawyer. If your landlord is attempting to collect a debt that was incurred prior to your bankruptcy filing and which was included in your bankruptcy, he/she may be in violation of the bankruptcy stay by attempting to collect this debt.

Does inheritance have to be disclosed in filing for bankruptcy being that I technically inherited this a year ago?

Diane L Drain
Answered by attorney Diane L Drain (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of D. L. Drain, P.A.
You are required by law to disclose all inheritances as part of your bankruptcy. This includes any right to inherit before you file the bankruptcy, or 6 months after you filed. It does not matter if you have not actually received the inheritance. It is bankruptcy fraud not to fully disclose.
