How do I or where do I list the co-signed loan for a friend to get a house in my chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Alan Emmerson Ramos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
You could list the loan on Schedule F (checking the box that the debt is contingent). You may want to state in the listing that you are a co-signer on the loan. I can't speak to the statute of limitations issue as that would require a review of the documents and an analysis of the facts.

Is there a time limit to get a case number after you have retained a lawyer to avoid creditor contact?

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
The case number is issued after your case has been filed. If you hired an attorney solely to avoid creditor contact, and not to file a bankruptcy, there would not be a case number. If you did hire them to file bankruptcy, then the time period depends on what you and the attorney agreed to.  What does it say in your retainer agreement?  Have you provided the attorney all the requested documentation and information for them to prepare your case?  Have you paid all the fees?   I am not really sure what your issue is and there's too much missing information to guess.   Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Is retirement money safe in bankruptcy?

Most retirement money is exempted from the bankruptcy estate, as long as it is in an approved account, such as an IRA or 401k.
