If I filed a chapter 13 bankruptcy when can I file a chapter 7?

Peter Maurice Lively
Answered by attorney Peter Maurice Lively (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at The Law Offices of Peter M. Lively
You are protected in the Chapter 13, if you gave the creditor notice. If not, then you are eligible for a chapter 13 discharge after six years from the petition date of the prior chapter 13 where you received a discharge. However, if you paid your creditors 70 or more of their claims in your prior chapter 13 plan you may file and receive a discharge sooner in some circumstances. You should consult with a bankruptcy attorney regarding your facts.

Will I lose all of my inheritance?

Karen Jackson Porter
Answered by attorney Karen Jackson Porter
Bankruptcy lawyer at Porter Law Network
I am so sorry that you lost your parents. The bankruptcy law provides that if a debtor receives an inheritance within 180 days after the case is filed, the inheritance becomes property of the estate. You are required to notify the court and the trustee by amending your schedules to disclose the inheritance. The trustee has the right to the inheritance. You have the right to any funds that are properly exempt. You need to make sure you have claimed the proper exemptions. The trustee cannot take more than the claims of creditors plus the costs to handle the administration the estate. The administrative costs include the trustee's fees and the fees for the trustee's lawyers and accountants. If there are funds remaining after the payment of the creditors and administrative costs, those funds should be yours. If you had a lawyer for your chapter 7 case, please contact that lawyer immediately for assistance. If you do not have a lawyer, please hire one.
