If I filed Chapter 7, how do they determine how long & how much of my fed & state can they receive?

Michael Avanesian

Bankruptcy lawyer at JT Legal Group
I don't really understand your question. Maybe you should file an ethics complaint if your attorney didn't do a good job and won't return some of your funds? Are you saying your house is worth 85k and you only owe 10k on it, that you have credit card debt in the amount of $8,000 and that you need to do repairs of approximately $5,000 on the home? To cut to the chase, if you filed for bk recently, then any past federal and state tax returns that you did not exempt are going to be given to the trustee. Meanings 2012, 2011, 2010 etc.. All of your future tax returns are safe.

Can I file Chapter 7 bankruptcy after filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Shaye Larkin
Answered by attorney Shaye Larkin (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Shaye Larkin
If your filing date for the prior Chapter 13 was that long ago you may certainly file a Chapter 7 now, assuming you meet the eligibilty requirements, however, Chapter 7 is not the best bankruptcy to file if you are trying to save your home because the lender will likely get permission from the bankruptcy court to continue the foreclosure sale. If you meet the elibility requirements, Chapter 13 is a better option for saving a home when the mortgage is in arrears, but it is a far more complicated type of bankruptcy that is difficult to complete successfully without an attorney's assistance. It would be best for you to seek the help of an attorney immediately to ensure any bankruptcy filing will be a successful oneand filed in time to stop the foreclosure sale.

Can I put the house on the market once they file before it is discharged?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
First things first.: you need an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. It's almost always worth the investment. Second, some questions need to be answered. E.g. What is the fair market value of the real estate? What is the value of your share? Is your equity in the house exempt under applicable law? If, as I imagine, your equity is exempt, then you should be able to sell the hours IF 30 DAYS PASS AFTER THE MEETING OF CREDITORS AND NO CREDITOR OR TRUSTEE OBJECTS TO YOUR CLAIM OF EXEMPTION. A meticulous lawyer might very well want to move for 'abandonment' of the property which simply means that the Trustee has no further claim on it and it just reverts back to you. If your equity is sufficiently above the exemption limits, the Trustee could seek to sell the property, give your father his share, give you your exemption amount, and pay the rest over to unsecured creditors. However, very few people have more equity than the law allows, so this is a rare occurrence.
