Two people are on title of a paid off vehicle, what happens in case of bankruptcy?

Diane L Drain
Answered by attorney Diane L Drain (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of D. L. Drain, P.A.
It depends on the exemptions of the state and the value of the property. Make sure the person filing for bankruptcy talks to their attorney. You don't want this to ambush either party.

Am I liable to pay money with no written agreement or contract?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Roberta Ohlinger-Johnson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Harris, Yug & Ohlinger
Under the law, it's either a loan or a gift. Based on what you've stated, it sure seems like it was a gift to me if you told her not to, and that you couldn't pay her back if she did. And, by the way, once someone gives a gift, they can't take it back.

Bk Chapter 7Can I stop my Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
It is not impossible to stop a Chapter 7 case but you do need court permission. You have to file a motion to dismiss the case and the Trustee may oppose the motion if there is property that you cannot exempt. If you do not have exemptions to protect all your property the Trustee may object to the dismissal of your case. It will depend on the amount involved. The court decides whether or not you can dismiss your case. You do not have the right to dismiss your case without a court order. Once you file for Chapter 7 all of your property is transferred to the estate in bankruptcy and you can remove from the estate and keep whatever property the law allows you to exempt (keep). Technically the property you cannot exempt is no longer yours but belongs to your creditors and it is the Trustee's job to take the property and distribute it to the creditors. Your income tax refund belongs to the estate and unless you can exempt it. It is questionable, however, whether the federal earned income credit belongs to the estate. There are different decisions by different bankruptcy court on that issue. Therefore, if you are getting a large tax refund because you have children and did not earn much then your lawyer can try to argue that the amount you are getting because of the earned income credit may not be part of your bankruptcy estate. The same may be true with regard to the additional tax credit for children 16 or under that is available under federal tax laws.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
