What should I expect after a Chapter 7 discharge?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Your credit score should automatically improve within two years of the discharge and you can improve it quicker by obtaining credit and paying on time. Most people are offered credit cards and other types of credit shortly after bankruptcy assuming they have good income. Most likely you will not be able to obtain a mortgage for at least two years after bankruptcy. It might take three to four years of credit rebuilding efforts to obtain a reasonable mortgage. Car loans will be generally available easily shortly after bankruptcy but at a higher cost and with more down payment required.

Can we file chapter 13 if there is an inheritance?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney William Monroe Rubendall (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
You have a confirmed Chapter 13 plan. You are obligated to pay according to the terms of the plan. I cannot think of a reason why you should pay an inheritance to the bankruptcy trustee. Apparently, you have a lawyer. Verify this with him or her.

Can a bankruptcy stop the eviction proceedings related to a probate matter?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Filing for bankruptcy protection will stop the eviction. Filing bankruptcy will stop all legal action against the person filing. The reason is to protect the bankruptcy estate. That does not mean that it would be wise to file for bankruptcy because of that alone without consulting with an attorney. Once you are in Chapter 7 you cannot get out freely so you might end up losing property. A Chapter 13 might be a better choice but you really need to have a consultation with a local bankruptcy attorney to determine if a bankruptcy filing is a good option and which Chapter would be best for your situation. There might be a way to stop the eviction through the probate court that might be a better alternative. You need to be very careful about what you do and do it only after consulting with the bankruptcy attorney and possibly the probate attorney as well. Just because you can stop an eviction by filing bankruptcy does not mean that the person wanting to do the eviction cannot go to the bankruptcy court and obtain permission to proceed with the eviction. That is called relief of stay.
