Getting a job during a chapter 7

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
I do not practice in New York, but as long as you properly disclosed the possibility of your income increasing within the 12 months after filing your case, there shouldn't be a problem. Did you have this surgery before or after you filed your bankruptcy case?  If before, then you definitely should have disclosed the possibility of returning to work within the next 12 months.   If after, you still probably should have disclosed it (especially if you knew about the surgery). The means test only looks at income received PRIOR to filing the bankruptcy case, so if your attorney is really saying that the Trustee can use that as a means to get additional funds from you, then he/she doesn't know what they are talking about. However, the court can look at projected income that you KNEW about when your case was filed (which is why Schedule "I" and "J" ask for any changes likely to occur in the 12 months. You should at least wait until after your meeting with the Trustee, but I don't know that it's necessary to wait until the discharge.  But then again, it really depends on the above.   Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Can a loan provider give me a check without anything in writing?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Roberta Ohlinger-Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Harris, Yug & Ohlinger
If you have a lawyer, you should listen to him/her. A check is writing, but the terms won't be clear. As long as you both agree it's a loan, then it needs to be repaid. To say that a loan dies with you is merely a way of saying that you're on the hook, but nobody else. Creditors are repaid from the estate prior to heirs getting anything.

Is this a good time to file Chapter 7?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Susan G. Taylor
You should contact an attorney immediately & probably file the money in the brokerage account is at risk of being seized by the judgment creditor.
