Are we going to lose our house if I file for bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Wow that's a heavy load to be carrying. Unfortunately, you cannot keep your house unless you can afford to pay for it. By eliminating the need to pay other debts, bankruptcy might free up more cash to let you make your mortgage payments. And by having no other debt beside your mortgage, bankruptcy could make you more likely to be eligible for a loan modification with a lower interest rate and smaller payments. But that is pie in the sky without details. You need to work with the most experienced bankruptcy attorney you can find to see what kinds of options are available to assist you.

Should I sue my tenant for rent before he files for bankruptcy?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Suing the tenant will probably do you know good, if he really files for bankruptcy. If you get a judgment against him, and he firehouse with in 90 days after that, your judgment could be voided. Similarly, if you collect anything from the tenant at least if you collect more than $600 with in those 90 days, you will have received what's called a preference, and the bankruptcy trustee can demand it back. Of course, many people threaten to file a bankruptcy, in the expectation that the news will deter creditors from suing them. So I guess you need to balance your need for payment, the amount you are likely to collect, and the expense of a legal action.

Will a discharged chapter 7 bankruptcy protect us from foreclosure?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
If you got your debt discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy, then you are not liable for the balances on your properties unless you reaffirmed the debt as part of your bankruptcy process. The banks want you to sign a deed in lieu of foreclosure because it saves them the time and expense of having to go through the foreclosure process in order to obtain title to the houses. Not signing doesn't create any obligation to you.
