What happens if my husband files for bankruptcy and I am getting an inheritance?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Sheryl Susan Graf (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Sheryl S. Graf
If your husband is filing separately, he is required to disclose all of his assets, including his interest in undivided community property assets, in his bankruptcy proceeding. Your inheritance assuming it is kept separate and not commingled with community funds is your separate property. Your separate property inheritance should be safe from being seized in your estranged husband's bankruptcy proceeding to pay his debts. Assuming your assets may ultimately be divided in a divorce or legal separation proceeding in the future, you should probably consult with a family law attorney to do some pre-divorce planning and assure that you don't handle your inheritance in a manner that could convert its character. The information presented here is general in nature and is no substitute for specific legal advice, nor is it intended to create a lawyer/client relationship.

Will bankruptcy help me?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Bankruptcy is not going to help you with the real problem, which is that your living expenses exceed your income by $1,500/month. Bankruptcy can only eliminate past debt and it isn't likely that bankruptcy will eliminate or even reduce the amount owed on your student loans. Unless you are threatened by a wage garnishment, I would suggest putting off what may be inevitable.

Will I be able to get federal student loan with permission from the court and can the federal loan department deny me if I have the court’s permission

Diane L Drain
Answered by attorney Diane L Drain (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of D. L. Drain, P.A.
Most likely your student loan is not "in your chapter 13 bankruptcy". It would be listed in the bankruptcy, but paid just like your other unsecured debts. Here is the problem, I cannot guess as to your situation or the answer to your question. The law is the same in all 50 states, but local rules, general orders, policies and procedures differ from state to state. Therefore, you really need to talk to a competent chapter 13 attorney where you live. If you live in Arizona then I can give you some referrals.
