If I die, can they force my wife to continue with the payments or take the house anyway?

Depends on what you mean by force. They cannot force you to make the payments as you have the legal right to simply dismiss your case and deal with your creditors as you wish to.

How long must I wait to file?

Answered by attorney Sanaz Sarah Bereliani (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bereliani Law Firm, PC
I would need more information to answer this question. I'm assuming the issue is that your mother's property has equity. A couple things - are you on there as a signer or power of attorney or she's gifted this to you? It makes a difference if you have interest in the property or not. I don't understand the necessity of you waiting to file. They only care about transfers in terms of "have you transferred any properties/cars out of your name in the last 3-4 years" not when people transfer things into your name. The only issue with things getting transferred into your name is whether the property has equity that needs to be protected from the Trustee liquidating and whether that equity can be protected or it's over the allowed protection limits. I would recommend speaking to a bankruptcy specialist.

Can I get my filing fee waived in a chapter 13?

Answered by attorney Christopher J. Kane
Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
No, the Court will not grant a waiver of the Chapter 13 filing fee. In Chapter 13, you are expected to make a monthly payment to the Chapter 13 Trustee. So, it can be expected that you can afford to pay the $281 filing fee.
