Can I file for bankrupcy if I co-own a house that my sister still lives in without losing the house?

Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
You and your sister can continue to own and keep the house so long as the mortgage payments are current. If you have equity in the house you must be able to exempt your equity. Otherwise, the trustee can sell the house to pay your creditors with your share of the unexempt equity. Your sister would get her share of the proceeds of the sale and your share will go to the trustee less the amount you were able to exempt (which will be paid to you). If you do have equity, make sure you consult with a lawyer before filing a bankruptcy case.

Can I take out a secured loan to pay my bankruptcy attorney fees?

Sally J Elkington
Answered by attorney Sally J Elkington (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Elkington Law
You need to be careful and before you do this, talk to an attorney. There are complications with this option, depending on what chapter bankruptcy you are going to file. Generally, it is never a good idea to borrow money just before filing a bankruptcy, but there are some exceptions under certain circumstances. Fat advice from the attorney you want to hire.

Can garnishment take place without me signing legal documentation?

Jennifer Jakob-Barnes
Answered by attorney Jennifer Jakob-Barnes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Jakob-Barnes Law Firm, LLC
Yes. For wages to be garnished, the creditor first has to get a judgment, then file garnishment paperwork with the Court. A bankruptcy can stop the garnishment and any other collection activities.
