Will a discharged chapter 7 bankruptcy protect us from foreclosure?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James T Dunn (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at James T. Dunn P.C.
You are protected by the CH 7 if the debt was listed. The reason they want a deed in lieu is because they cannot now pursue you for a deficiency due to the BK filing. A deed in lieu puts them on title now rather than 4 months of foreclosure process.

Can I go into contract while in chapter 7 and then sell after it has been discharged and closed?

Susan Green Taylor
Answered by attorney Susan Green Taylor (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Susan G. Taylor
There's no need to wait until the chapter 7 has been discharged to sell your home. If within 60 days of filing, ask the trustee for permission. If he won't give it, you can file a motion to sell it with the court, go to a short hearing to talk to the judge, & get his permission to sell.

If I were to file bankruptcy immediately, would that release the liens?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Christian Frederick Paul (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Christian F. Paul
The liens against the property at the time of filing remain and "ride through" bankruptcy unless and until the debtor moves to have the liens "scraped off." So the answer is no, the liens will not be released by filing for bankruptcy protection, nor at the time of discharge, for that matter, without something more on your part. You can get a more complete response by taking all relevant papers to a local bankruptcy attorney. Many offer a free half-hour consultation. Take your tax returns, proof of earnings, all outstanding bills, a credit report, your deed and vehicle registration papers, the judgments against you, and a list of monthly expenses so that the attorney can evaluate your case.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
