How can I file bankruptcy for my brother who is in prison?

Michael Jay Berger
Answered by attorney Michael Jay Berger
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger
I highly recommend that you hire a certified specialist bankruptcy attorney to assist you. You will need to help your brother pay for the bankruptcy. You may need to help him by bringing papers to him in prison, or having the attorney mail the papers to him. You may need to help him by investigating his assets and debts. Most debtors need to appear in person to be examined at a meeting of creditors. I have arranged for several in prison to debtors to be questioned by written interrogatory and succeeded in getting the Chapter 7 Trustee to waive any in person appearance by the imprisoned debtor. You brother will not have to be present at the time the discharge is entered. This is something that is done by the Clerk of the Court. It does not require an appearance by the debtor.

Will I ever again be liable for the repayment of my mortgage after a Chapter 7 discharge?

Marjorie A. Guymon
Answered by attorney Marjorie A. Guymon
Bankruptcy lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
Your discharge is forever. You will never be liable for a deficiency should you stop paying and the bank foreclose.

Should I file for bankruptcy if I cannot pay attorney fees? How?

Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
I would recommend that you make payment arrangements with an attorney. Because you have an uninsured accident case, it is more complex than most cases. It would be difficult to get the best results from an complex case without an attorney. One option would be to file the case without an attorney, then to hire an attorney immediately after you file. Then you could pay the attorney over several months.
