Can I sell a house during a Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney William Monroe Rubendall (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
Ordinarily you must seek permission from the trustee to buy, sell, or refinance real property during a chapter 13. However, if there is a non-filing spouse who has the mortgage there may not be such of a requirement. It would depend on whose name is on the title.

Should I close my business before I file for bankruptcy?

Michael Jay Berger
Answered by attorney Michael Jay Berger
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger
You need to call me, Michael Berger, for a free consultation. The real question is not the one that you list first (should I close my business before I file bankruptcy), but what will happen to your deed of trust if you file bankruptcy. As to the business, it does not matter if you close it or not. You do not say if it is a corporation, an LLC or a sole proprietorship. You do indicate that its assets have little value. Its assets will probably be abandoned by the Trustee (left with you) if they are of little value. The big problem is the deed of trust. There is no exemption for deeds of trust. You will have to fit in the "wildcard" exemption in order to keep ownership of the deed of trust. You do not say what the amount of the promissory note and deed of trust is. If it is over your available exempt amount, the Trustee will take the deed of trust from you and sell it for the benefit of your creditors. If it is worth enough, he will pay all of your creditors in full with the proceeds after paying himself, his attorney and any broker involved in the deal. You DON'T want this to happen.
