Could I include my credit card debt in bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Marjorie A. Guymon
Bankruptcy lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You must include all debts in your bk. So yes, you can include your credit card debt. While your only an authorized user on the card with your grandmother, the lender should have cancelled the card upon her passing. If she has an estate it will still be liable for payment. There may be legal effects here but unlikely. Your fiance is not liable for your bk filing nor for your debts incurred before marriage. I highly recommend you file bk before you marry, however, because once you are married his income will be drawn into the bankruptcy.

There is case law that would support changing your homestead by moving and then claiming what was your second home now to be your primary and exempt home. Be sure to give a full history and discuss the issue and possible risks of trying this approach and filing chapter 7 with the new homestead.
