Should I consider personal bankruptcy if my home is under water?

Lorena Lee Saedi
Answered by attorney Lorena Lee Saedi (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Saedi Law Group, LLC
The answer to that question depends on what state you live in. If you live in a state that usually does not pursue deficiency judgments then you may not need to file bankruptcy. In Georgia our courts do not typically issue deficiency judgments. If you have a first mortgage and the property forecloses the mortgage company simply takes the property back. Because there are so many different moving parts in a potential bankruptcy I would suggest that you meet with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in your area who can review your entire financial picture and provide the best options.

If I owe money on an apartment I was evicted from, lease is under my name and someone else's, will this be covered when I file?

Balances due to former landlords are dischargeable in bankruptcy. You should also list as a creditor the other person on the lease.

You can sell your home prior to filing bankruptcy. However, the amount you receive could potentially affect whether you can file at this time. Also, what you do with the proceeds is important. The trustee would use that money to pay creditors. I highly suggest you speak to an attorney before going forward with the sale.
