Can the creditors seize my mother's property to satisfy the judgements against me?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Roger J Bus (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Debt Relief Law Center
This is more of a collections issue than a bankruptcy question. The State of Michigan has a limited number of collection exemptions- items that are safe from seizure by judgment creditors. You would need to check with a collections attorney as to exactly what property is exempt from attachment. Similar to bankruptcy law, there is a set up formula for how much you can keep and how much is exposed to creditors. For bankruptcy, the exemptions are spelled at bankruptcy section 11 U.S.C. 522. If you can get all your property values under the limits there, then it is "exempt" from the bankruptcy Trustee. If this inherited property is legally yours/you have a valid claim to it, and is simply awaiting probate to delivered over to you, it would have to reported as an asset or a receivable on your bankruptcy schedules.

How can I add a bill to my bankruptcy chapter 7?

Daniel James Wiedecker
Answered by attorney Daniel James Wiedecker (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Debt Relief Legal Clinic
There is case law in some jurisdictions that state if a petitioner has a 'no asset' Chapter 7 (no assets for trustee assigned to administer), as long as the petitioner's Chapter 7 schedules were put forth in good faith, no amendment is required. However, in the proposed scenario, the debtor has been 'made aware' (notice) of an additional debt before the case was discharged & closed, so the correct procedure to satisfy the 'good faith' requirement is for the attorney to 'amend' the bankruptcy schedules with the additional creditor, notice that creditor of the bankruptcy, and allow the noticing period to run for that added creditor to object, and that creditor will be accordingly discharged. It is important the petitioner seek competent counsel in the petitioner jurisdiction to determine qualifications and rights under Title 11 of the United States Code.
