Can I file for chapter 13 if the property that I bought has an unknown lien on it?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Javed Inam Ellahie (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ellahie Law Firm
Yes - unless the amount owed exceeds the Chapter 13 section 109(e) eligibility limits. Current limits are: Secured debts have to be less than $1,081,500.00 secured& Unsecured less than $360,525 as of 4/1/2010 Reproducing Section 109(e). Limits are adjusted for inflation every 3 years, *next adjustment 4/1/2013.* * * If the lien is properly filed and perfected and there is enough equity in the property to cover the lien than add it to the secured amounts, if there is no equity to cover the lien, add it to the unsecured amount. If it falls in between then you the part that the equity could pay gets added to the secured amount, the rest to unsecured. Also in a 13 you may be able to wipe it out if it impairs an exemption. Confused ? Do consult a lawyer.

What are my rights on a property that I own 1/3 of?

Gary A. Russell
Answered by attorney Gary A. Russell (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Clos, Russell & Wirth, P.C.
If it is vacant property (like acreage), you could seek to partition the land among the 3 of you. If it is small (like a home) you could force the sale, or at least to have them buy you out.

If I die, can they force my wife to continue with the payments or take the house anyway?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kenneth Allen Parker (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Kenneth A. Parker, PC
I sincerely hope you have a bankruptcy attorney. A Chapter 13 is a fixed payment throughout the life of the Chapter 13 case but you may be able to ask the court to excuse 2-3 months due to unexpected circumstances. Talk to your Bankruptcy Attorney about the possibility of excusing a few months of payments. The house is another story, if you do not pay the house payments, the creditor can move to lift the automatic stay, which would mean the house would no longer be under the protection of the bankruptcy laws. If your case is dismissed, you may be able to file a new case.
