Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Margaret L. Evans, PC
Question: Can a Florida Trustee take settlement monies on a disclosed suit? *- YES, ABSOLUTELY * Question Detail: We were discharged from our BR in December of 2009. We disclosed that we thought there was potential litigation involved in vacant land we owned for future development. In June of 2012 we were notified that the bank that provided the loans on this property had committed fraud and they were returning all down payments and monthly payments paid to them. The Trustee to date has not closed our case and has now filed a Motion with the Court to have these monies (16K) sent to her. We disclosed everything. The Trustee made no move to find out additional information. When we were contacted in June 2012 we asked the banks attorney's to contact our Trustee who then filed the Motion 5 months later. Is there a time limit? *- depends on Florida specific law* Does she have the right to these monies? *- yes, absolutely; she is DUTY BOUND to gather all unexempt property, liquidate it if necessary, and distribute the proceeds to the pool of unsecured creditors * If this was a fraudulent claim then does the bank have to still make us whole regardless of the Trustee? *- any and all proceeds to the extent necessary to make the creditors whole can and will be taken by the Trustee; only those monies left over AFTER paying the creditors in full will be refunded to you *

Can I rent out my home as I am waiting for my Chapter 13 to go through?

Generally speaking, you may rent out your house. But you should modify your schedules of income and expenses to reflect the rental. You might have to increase your payments into the Ch. 13 if your income increases significantly. Consult a skilled BR lawyer. It's almost always worth the investment.
