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

Answered by attorney Theodore L. Araujo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Theodore Lyons Araujo
The inheritance is property of the Chapter 13 estate. You may use the funds (must use) to pay off creditors unless the Trustee or the Court determine that some or all of the proceeds are exempt. There are few reasons why the inheritance would be exempt and all of it is usually treated as disposable income that must be paid into the Plan. There are exceptions like inherited IRA's.

Can a landlord file eviction if a person is under chapter 13?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Glenn T. Litwak
Yes for post filing rent. You have to stay current in the rent but you can try and amend the plan to catch up on the rent.

Can you file chapter 13 after a chapter 7?

Answered by attorney Theodore L. Araujo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Theodore Lyons Araujo
You can file but you may not be able to get a discharge depending on the time frame. While you must wait at least 8 years between filing two chapter 7 (11 USC ? 727(a)(8)) bankruptcies (assuming you got your discharge) you need only wait two years between Chapter 13 cases (11 USC ?1328(f)(2)) 4 years between a 7 and a 13 (11 USC ? 1328(f)(1)) and six years between a 13 and a 7 (if the percentage to the unsecured creditors was under 70%) (11 USC ? 727(a)(9)). Please make sure you consult an attorney because you must fall under the definition of a debtor and you may have to take extra steps not normally performed in a Bankruptcy in order to make sure you are protected by the automatic stay (11 USC ? 362 et seq.) These times may also be greatly shortened if you did not get a discharge in the first case.
