Can I assume someone's mortgage if they have filled bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Assuming a mortgage will have nothing to do with the seller?s prior bankruptcy. However, whether the seller is eligible to transfer the title to the property to you is a much more crucial issue that you will need to investigate.

Is this a good time to file Chapter 7?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Sanaz Sarah Bereliani (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bereliani Law Firm, PC
My first question would be whether the house has $91,000 in equity or that is simply the value and you have a mortgage on it? That would make a huge difference in your case. In bankruptcy you have to "exempt" or "protect" your assets. The job of a Bankruptcy Trustee is to try to liquidate unprotected assets to pay off your creditors. Plus they take commission on what they collect. In bankruptcy you can either use 704 exemptions which allows you to protect the equity in your residence and limits what other things can be protected (in your case the stocks/investment accounts will most likely not be protected)... OR you can use 703 exemptions which provides you with a $23,000 Wildcard you can use to protect your stocks/investment accounts/etc. but you cannot protect $91,000 in equity. So it's a give and take. I would highly recommend sitting down with an attorney to go over the facts of your case to let you know if you should file or not. If equity in your home is not a problem I would definitely recommend you filing bankruptcy to stop the lawsuit and get rid of the $35,000 unsecured debt.

Are private student loans dischargeable in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or is 13 better?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Private student loans cannot be discharged in any form of bankruptcy unless there is a trial in which the student proves that s/he is eligible to discharge the debt because of an "undue hardship." The box that is checked concerning the debt is for statistical purposes only and is otherwise meaningless. If a lawyer is promising that student loan debts can be removed from your credit report, run out of the office as fast as you can!
