When you file bankruptcy what happens if I owe money on my home, do I lose my home and how do I go about filing for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Christian Frederick Paul (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Christian F. Paul
The short answer is that most people who own a house, and are behind on their mortgage payments, and file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, end up keeping their house.? They have to keep up with the mortgage payments afterward, or the lender will foreclose and take the property away.? But usually they get the debt discharged by the Bankruptcy Court, so the lender cannot get any money out of the debtor, just the house. Obviously that's a broad generalization.? You should make an appointment to speak with a local bankruptcy attorney often they will give you a 30-minute consultation for free and take with you your deed, your vehicle registrations, your last two years' tax returns, last two or three pay stubs, most recent statements / invoices / demand letters from everyone you owe money to, a list of your assets, and a list of your ordinary monthly expenses.? The attorney should be able to size up your situation and give you an answer whether bankruptcy will help you, what to expect, and how much it will cost.

I filed Bankruptcy to stop foreclosure the bank was still able to foreclose what legal actions can I take?

Answered by attorney Carl C Silver (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carl C. Silver Attorney at Law
If the bankruptcy was filed before the date of the foreclosure sale you could conceivably try to have the sale set aside as void due to the bankruptcy stay. However, it is now 4 years later and someone else is probably living in the house. You will undoubtedly spend more on attorney fees doing all this than you would ever recover for any damage to your credit if that is what you think your damages are.

Do liens qualify under chapter 7?

Answered by attorney Gregory M. Neuhaus (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Milner Neuhaus & Judds
This is not really a Bankruptcy question, but a personal injury question. I practice in both areas. Your Personal Injury Law firm may not understand the "Made Whole" Doctrine. Ask them to research it. They should find that not all subrogation claims have to be paid. Your attorney should have a copy of the declarations page of the insurance contract so that he/she knows what coverage is there. Since $20,000 is below the required minimum coverage in Nebraska, which is $25,000 per injured party, I have doubts that this is "all" the insurance company can offer. Also, assuming this is a Nebraska case and that the car in which your daughter was a driver/passenger was a Nebraska vehicle, it would have underinsured motorist coverage. You should make a claim against that insurance policy as well.
