Is it possible to sell my house before filling bankruptcy? Or will this create a bad situation with the future trustee?

Answered by attorney Gregory J Wald (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Gregory J. Wald
Your plan is flawed. If you sell your home and use the money to pay relatives, the payments will be considered a "preference". The trustee of your bankruptcy case may demand that your relatives turn the funds over to the court so that they can be distributed evenly among all of your creditors. You might be better off to exempt the home in your bankruptcy if you are able and then sell the home after the bankruptcy is completed. You could then use the funds to pay whatever creditor you choose.

Bankruptcy lawyer at Olson Law Firm
If you are currently in a Chapter 13 and operating under an approved plan, then you must ask the court for any modifications to the plan.

How do I find out if I qualify for bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Margaret L. Evans (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Margaret L. Evans, PC
You need to consult with an attorney to see what Chapter you either can or should file. With mortgage arrearages, you can pay the past due amount through a Chapter 13 plan while making the regular monthly payments outside of the bankruptcy plan. However, you may be better off surrendering the home if the amount owed on the mortgage exceeds the current value of the home. When your attorney runs the MEANS TEST for you, s/he can then best advise you which route to take.
