Should I sell my boat myself? How?

Giovanni Orantes
Answered by attorney Giovanni Orantes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Orantes Law Firm
You are likely to get to keep more money if you do the sale yourself, but you have to make sure you sell the asset at a market price and through a process that would result in getting a market price. You should keep careful records of the process and of how you marketed it and what offers you got, etc. Be especially vigilant that if you sell it to a relative or business affiliate, the transaction will be subjected to more scrutiny. Needless to say, however, it is always best to consult an expert bankruptcy attorney to provide some guidance even if you wait some time before actually pulling the trigger on filing the petition. Note that, depending on your particular situation, your equity in the boat may be exempt and you may not need to sell the boat or may be able to sell it yourself during the bankruptcy case, but you will have to get permission to sell or an order abandoning the boat to you if you want to sell it while the case is still open, for which a bankruptcy attorney will charge you for fees and costs.

How far do trustees look at a person’s medical record during a bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Paul Norwood Jonas Ross (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Paul N. J. Ross Law, PLLC
I have never had a Trustee look into a persons medical record. I am not sure what reason there would be to look at it. Unless there was some type of accident or injury that could be litigated to bring money to the estate. Even then, it would be through typical discovery and a lawsuit, not just in the Trustee asking about medical history.

What is the lowest amount owed to creditors to be able to file for bankruptcy?

Michael Jay Berger
Answered by attorney Michael Jay Berger
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger
There is not legal minimum amount of debts required to file for bankruptcy. A typical bankruptcy debtor owes as much in unsecured debt as he or she makes in a year. For example, if the debtor makes $40,000.00 / year and owes $40,000.00 in credit cards, that would be an average case. If the debtor has the ability to pay back his debts in full, it is usually best for him or her not to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If the debts are less than $10,000.00, I generally do not file bankruptcy for the debtor. If there is only one debt and the debt can be settled with the one creditor, I usually do not file bankruptcy for the debtor. For a specific answer tailored to the facts and circumstances of your situation, call me.
