I stand to inherit from my parent’s estate. Will this affect my Ch. 13?

Answered by attorney Joseph F. Hook (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Joseph F. Hook Attorney at Law
If you are in a chapter 13, the inheritence to the extent that it is not subject to any exemption, has to be accounted for in your chapter 13 plan. You will either have to turn the inheritence over to the trustee to the extent necessarry to pay the claims of creditors, or amend your plan so that the creditors receive as much as they would have, had you turned the non exempt portion of the inhereitence over. You can pay-off your plan early. However, you must account for the inheritence, and likely will have to pay more than the plan prior to the inheritence provided for.

Do you have to reaffirm mortgages to get refinanced?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey M. Cook (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at J.M. Cook, P.A.
No,the lender could give you a new loan regardless of whether you reaffirmed the original loan - they just don't want to. It is nearly impossible to go back to court and reaffirm a mortgage after the case is closed, regardless of what the lender tells you.

Where can I find the most comprehensive information about filing my own bankruptcy?

Being your own attorney involves risks. At the minimum you should take your papers to an attorney to review prior to filing. Judgments or lawsuits must be listed. It is more important to seek legal advice than it is to worry about whether a lawsuit will go to judgment before filing bankruptcy.
