What are the responsibilities of a bankruptcy attorney?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kathryn Ursula Tokarska (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Kathryn Tokarska
Are you speaking about a mortgage loan? A Deed of Trust document is only necessary in some situations such as: 1) there is a dispute as to whether a certain debt is owed and secured by the property 2) there can be a lien avoidance in the case because there was an involuntary lien (like abstract title) placed on the property and there is sufficient exemption to remove the lien and the client wishes to and realistically can retain the property post bankruptcy 3) it's a chapter 13 case that will involve a lien strip because the property's value is below the current balance of senior lien(s) and the property is a primary residence of the debtor. One thing I can direct you to as far as reading something about obligations is the actual form that is filed as part of the petition schedules in your bankruptcy case that describes rights and responsibilities of the debtor and the attorney.

If I am sued over a credit card debt in my name only, can they go after assets in my husband's name only?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James Timothy Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
Generally no your creditors cannot go after assets only in your husbands name.. However, if you have control over an account, such as signing authority on a checks, they may be able to claim 50% of the money in the account is yours. Interestingly enough if your house was in both your names as husband and wife.. they could not go after that either .. (the only way to get to the house if it is in both your names is if the debt is owed by both of you) Everything other than real property in both your names they can presumably go after 50%

How do I get my name removed from a debt resolution case?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Stephen P. Dempsey (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Stephen P. Dempsey Counselor at Law
If the account is still a joint account then you have a problem. See if you can open a new account and change everything to that account. Otherwise, his creditor is entitled to 50% of the joint account.
