I have cosigned on my son's teen checking account, I am considering filing bankruptcy, Chapter 7, will this affect his credit?

Marjorie A. Guymon
Answered by attorney Marjorie A. Guymon
Bankruptcy lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You should be able to list your son's bank account under the statement of financial affairs as property held for another. As long as you can show that the money in the account came from your son's paychecks the trustee will not bother with that account. The bank should not freeze the account.

If my husband claims a Chapter 13 but we share the debt, do the debts go away or do they just become my debts?

Stuart M. Nachbar
Answered by attorney Stuart M. Nachbar
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Stuart M. Nachbar, P.C.
In NJ, they become your responsibility. IF you file jointly, all of the debt is included, and you work together to get rid of it in the C13, paying only a percentage.

Can a bank be forced to take ownership of a property that was released to them in a bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
I wish your parents had addressed this issue many years ago. Although they & their attorney may have assumed that the bank would foreclose on the property after the bankruptcy was filed, since the bank didn't do this, the responsibilities of property ownership have followed them & they are legally responsible for the expenses relating to their ownership of the property. A better choice would have been to rent the property to create an income or to sell it (via short sale if necessary), or to offer the bank a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
