If sheriffs gives me a 5 day notice can I file for emergency bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
It takes me about a month to get all the paperwork ready to file with the bankruptcy court. If you can file an "emergency bankruptcy" and you think that will enable you more time to relocate, then go ahead and do it. An automatic stay pursuant to federal law will be in effect on the moment you file a bankruptcy. This means that no creditor can proceed with an action in State court. The sheriff has already given you a 5 day notice. But I do not know what the notice says. If it says you have 5 days to vacate, then you should vacate. Filing bankruptcy is not something you can just go an do so that you have more time to move. It is a very serious decision for which you need competent legal advice. The law changed back in 2005 so that people who are going to file bankruptcy must first go over their financial circumstances with an approved consumer credit counseling agency, and get a certificate saying that they have done so.

Is retirement money safe in bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Jeffrey Solomon
Retirement money" is generally exempt from creditors. You do need to clarify with a consultation with an attorney what you mean by "retirement money". Unless there is a fraudulent transfer issue, you can typically protect an IRA, 401k, and other retirement assets. Mere savings that you want to use in retirement would not be protected in bankruptcy.
