Where should the money come from for the bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Unless the money to pay for bankruptcy comes from family or friends who have given you the money, many people dip into any savings they have. But as a practical matter, most people stop paying their old bills to be able to save up the money to pay for the cost of filing bankruptcy.

Exempt motor vehicles bankruptcy chapter 7

Jess W. Levins
Answered by attorney Jess W. Levins
Bankruptcy lawyer at THE WARNOCK LAW GROUP LLC
You are allowed $1,000 as an equity exemption for a vehicle. You can keep both vehicles in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but you would have to pay the trustee the fair market value for the vehicles less the $1,000 exemption. In most cases the trustee would allow you up to 12 months to pay for the amount above the $1,000 exemption. Also, if you are not keeping a home, you are allowed an additional $4,000 as a wildcard exemtion that could be applied against the value of the vehicles. You should have the vehicles appraised by an appraiser approved by the court, since in many cases the NADA value may be higher that the true value of the vehicle.

If I file chapter 7 bankruptcy in December, do I lose all my taxes?

William H Nebeker
Answered by attorney William H Nebeker (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Havens Law, LLC
A tax refund is considered part of the estate in bankruptcy. It is also considered earned before the bankruptcy to the extent you have earned that money before you filed bankruptcy. If you have already received the refund and spent it, you will not lose it as long as you did not make certain preferential payments. If you have received your tax refund it is possible you could lose it. In Utah, there is no exemption for cash, which is what a future refund is considered. Sometimes a tax refund is too small for a trustee in bankruptcy to take. You should contact a bankruptcy attorney to discuss your options. Many attorneys offer free consultations.
