What happens if I surrender a whole life policy and does the money go to the court?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
If you surrender a whole life insurance policy, it goes to the bankruptcy trustee who uses the money to pay a portion of your debts. Of course, if you are eligible to use the Nevada exemptions, you would be crazy to let this happen because it is a simple matter to claim all of this money as exempt. But you have to know what you are doing to make this happen.

Does a chapter 13 bankruptcy cover these court costs/fine in the payment plan?

It is up to you and your attorney to structure the plan in a Chapter 13. If you were my client I would be making plan payments in accordance with the proof of claim filed by the creditor.

How would an AG consumer protection complaint play into my bankruptcy?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Certain kinds of debt are excluded from the bankruptcy discharge. The Automatic Stay of bankruptcy does not stop the government from pursuing its 'police powers.' So they probably are permitted to investigate. If the acts complained of amount to fraud, and that is determined by a state agency or court, generally the debt will be nondischargeable in bankruptcy. If the complaint is merely that you were careless, it is dischargeable. If you took the bride's money and did not do the work, then the debt could also be a priority debt, which if you filed Ch. 13, must be paid in full. I think you very much need an experienced bankruptcy lawyer to help guide you through this problem.
