- Q. Contemplating bankruptcy questioning whether I would lose my House
- A: When you file for bankruptcy any property you own will be classified as exempt property or non-exempt property.
Exempt property is safe during the bankruptcy.
Non-exempt property can be sold for the benefit of your creditors.
Each state is allowed to decide what exemptions are available to their residents.
In Missouri, a Missouri resident is allowed to keep their homestead subject to certain restrictions:
The home is subject to a $15,000 monetary limit.
Mobile homes are subject to a $5,000 monetary limit.
Exemption information alone may not determine if bankruptcy is a good option for you. A lot of factors and choices are available for many that are interested in filing.
- Q. Can a creditor demand return of merchandise which was bought 6 months before filing after the bankruptcy is discharged?
- A: Look to see if this creditor was a secured creditor and had a security interest in the property OR if you had a lease agreement with them. Either way you should have stated your intention regarding the debt and asset. You may be liable under a lease agreement post-bankruptcy if you assumed its terms. You may also be liable post-bankruptcy for secured debt if you signed a reaffirmation agreement. If you did neither, the creditor may still be entitled to their property. Creditors need not be present at the Meeting of Creditors.
- Q. Son totalled his truck, insurance expired, owes 26K to bank. Junk yard won't take vehicle. Bankruptcy solve problem?
- A: Many bankruptcy attorneys offer free consultations. He should speak with one to verify that this is his best option and cover all issues he is facing. (If there are any issues with injury, intoxication, fines, etc.)
