Can I file for bankruptcy on an investment property?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Spencer Thomas Hale (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at San Tan Family Law
If you file bankruptcy, then all your investment properties would be included, BUT you don't necessarily have to lose all the properties. Depending on how you treat the properties and the debts in the bankruptcy, you could still keep some or even all the properties. It is up to you.

How will our savings be treated if I file for a chapter 13 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney David C. Ayer (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at AyerHoffman, LLP
There are exemptions which prevent some assets from being used to satisfy your creditors. Your bankruptcy attorney can explain them to you. One option might be to wait to actually file the petition until after you have moved and used the money for that purpose. Rent and moving expenses, particularly where you are forced to move by the sale, are legitimate expenditures.

Will going off of disability impact my bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Asaph Orion Abrams (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Asaph Abrams
The bankruptcy petition requires that you state whether at the time of filing you reasonably-anticipate increase in income within the year after filing. Potential resumption of work does not necessarily imply a sudden windfall that would permit meaningful repayment of debt. The bankruptcy "fresh start" implies that new opportunities that materialize after filing bankruptcy permit the debtor to progress to a better future-rather than regress and reckon with stale debt.
