Can I keep my house and file chapter 7?

Answered by attorney William Monroe Rubendall (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
If you are behind in your house payment and in foreclosure you should consider filing a chapter 13 payment plan. If you file chapter 7 you will need to catch up with the back payments in order to keep the house.

How do I file bankruptcy if I live in a motor home without an address and have spent time abroad?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
The only way to ensure you do not make a mistake is to get an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. You must file in the bankruptcy district where you have lived for more than half the time in the past six months. If you have not lived in any bankruptcy district for over 90 days in the past 180 days, then you need to file where you have property. It could be a bank account. If none of that applies, then you must wait until you can establish residence for at least 91 days consecutively. You must have a residence address but can use a mailing address if you cannot receive correspondence at that address. It could be a post office box. There must be some place in the U.S. that you consider home and if not then maybe you need to wait for file until you stay in one place for at least 91 days. You say you have no property. However, if you do have anything and need to protect it then you must use exemptions to protect the property and where you have lived in the past two years determines what exemptions are available to you. You can use the federal exemptions if you do not qualify for exemptions in any state. Given that you have no property that should not be much of a problem except maybe the inheritance you mention. If you are expecting an inheritance because someone has already died and left you that much in cash or property (even if it has not been given to you yet), then you do have property because you are entitled to it. If the person who is leaving you an inheritance has not died then you have only an expectation of an inheritance and that inheritance becomes part of your bankruptcy estate only if the person dies within six months of filing for bankruptcy. That could be a problem in many ways, including the problem with you not being able to use any particular state exemptions because you have moved so much. You should not file unless you know how it is going to affect the inheritance, particularly if the person has already died and you are waiting for the money to be distributed. There are lots of issues with your situation and lots of complicated facts that need to be considered by a bankruptcy lawyer to determine if you should file at all and where you should file. You are afraid to lose your inheritance money to creditors but I think you have a greater chance of losing it in bankruptcy if you try to file without an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. I have tried to give you an illustration of the many problems you might encounter but I do not have most of the facts that are required to analyze you situation.
