Who owns our house after bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Daniel Hoarfrost (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Daniel G. Hoarfrost
The answer to your question is that you "own" your house after a bankruptcy, but I'm not sure you understand how liens work in bankruptcy.I doubt seriously that the prior mortgage co. "never filed a lien," but it bears checking out. It sounds like you haven't made any payments since 2009, so you're undoubtedly in default of the original mortgage, which has now been assigned.If there is, in fact, an active mortgage, the arrearage can be dealt with in a Ch 13. Feel free to call me at the office for a brief free phone consult if you have further questions.

Bankruptcy lawyer at Lehn Law, P.A.
You can be sued for credit card debt. Social security income is protected from creditors. I advise that you seek advice from a bankruptcy attorney to be fully informed of your rights and options.
