Should I sue my tenant for rent before he files for bankruptcy?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Suing the tenant will probably do you know good, if he really files for bankruptcy. If you get a judgment against him, and he firehouse with in 90 days after that, your judgment could be voided. Similarly, if you collect anything from the tenant at least if you collect more than $600 with in those 90 days, you will have received what's called a preference, and the bankruptcy trustee can demand it back. Of course, many people threaten to file a bankruptcy, in the expectation that the news will deter creditors from suing them. So I guess you need to balance your need for payment, the amount you are likely to collect, and the expense of a legal action.

If I file for bankruptcy then get married to her, would I be liable for the debt again?

Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Getting married does not change who is responsible for debts made before the marriage. However, debt can be collected out of joint bank accounts, so proceed with caution.

Can I claim a property that was willed to me in my Bankruptcy record even if the owner is still alive?

No. Such a gift is a mere expectancy given the facts stated in your question. You only need to disclose testamentary gifts or beneficial interests in a trust that you anticipate will become your property within 180 of filing your bankruptcy case.
