How does my life insurance cash value affect my bankruptcy files?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney William Monroe Rubendall (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
Cash value in life insurance policies are property of the bankruptcy estate. In a chapter 13 the debtor retains all assets. In a chapter 7 certain assets are liquidated by the trustee. There are exemptions that can be claimed to protect (keep) assets within a certain value. This is a complicated issue and a bankruptcy attorney should be consulted.

How long until my bankruptcy fall off my credit so I can rent an apartment?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Federal law allows a bankruptcy to remain on a credit report for 10 years. However, few landlords actually worry about renting to a tenant that has filed bankruptcy. Instead, the landlords are looking for prior evictions, utility turnoffs and other credit issues relating to them. Are you sure the bankruptcy isn't being used as an excuse not to rent to you?
