Can I go into contract while in chapter 7 and then sell after it has been discharged and closed?

Michael O'Leary
Answered by attorney Michael O'Leary
Bankruptcy lawyer at Hayward, Parker O'Leary
Once the Trustee has abandoned the house you are free to sell it. However, if the Chapter 7 case is still pending the title company will undoubtedly want prior to closing either (1) an Abandonment Order signed by the Bankruptcy Judge, or (2) at the very minimum, a Notice of Abandonment filed by the Trustee after service upon all creditors and parties in interest.

Is there time limitation for HOA before trying to collect for past accounts?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
It's best to check with the lawyer who represented you in the Chap. 7. In general, HOA dues should have been discharged, although condominium dues are generally treated as secured, so you must be careful to distinguish the two. In any case, if the HOA dues were discharged, that cannot include the dues which accrued after you filed the Ch. 7. You'd do best to consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer to be certain, or to do what needs to be done. Good Luck.

Shortsale after foreclosure and after chapter 7 discharge how long do we have to wait to get a mortgage?

Answered by attorney Kathleen Delacy (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
It may be about 3 or 4 years before you can buy another house, but that is completely up to the lender. Some lenders may still not do it.
