If you had a previous case with in a year and you re-filed another Chapter 13, the Automatic Stay in the current case expires in 30 days from the date the current case was filed. In order to extend the Automatic Stay, your attorney will need to file a Motion to Extend the Automatic Stay which should protect your car from repossession.

What is the best way to find a reliable bankruptcy attorney?

Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Have consultations with three attorneys in your area who have been practicing at least five years, check online with the California Bar to see if each attorney has a clean record and make sure the attorney is a member of the National Association of Consumers Bankruptcy Attorneys (NACBA). This will also help you get information on what fees are reasonable in your case and in your area and learn the potential issues with your case. The fee alone should not determine who you hire but if several attorneys are well qualified then you should select the one with whom you can communicate best and who you feel you can trust even if he/she charges a little more. Your instincts are are important. The attorney-client relationship is very personal so you need someone you can understand and trust as well as afford and that usually also mean you like the attorney personally and he/she likes you.

Can they take life insurance money on a deceased spouse that was paid to her before bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
You do not say how much she received or how she spent the money. Those are important facts needed to answer your question. If, for example, she received $100,000 just before bankruptcy and took a cruise around the world instead of paying debts then her case might be denied on the basis of bad faith and/or abuse. Bankruptcy is for the unfortunate, honest debtor who cannot trully afford to pay debts. Whether the money came from a life insurance policy or she found it in a bag on her porch or she won a lotto ticket is irrelevant in her case. If she can't explain what happened to the money then the trustee will suspect that it is under her mattress and she is hiding it. This might be an additional issue in her case that might come up, particularly if the amount she received is large considering her standard of living.
