Legal Answers
30 Questions Answered
Q. I have filed chapter 7 pro se and the trustee is about to take action to sell my inherited property
A: Conversion to Chapter 13 is a possible option. No one online will really be able to tell you what the best answer is because this is a complex matter that you must discuss in detail with an attorney.
Q. Will a transfer of property to my children 8 months prior to filing Chapter 7 be a problem?
A: That is likely to be a problem as it will probably be considered a "fraudulent transfer". Speak to a local bankruptcy attorney for possible solutions, as there may still be a way for you to file that doesn't cause a problem for you or your children.
Q. How can I continue paying for mortg, car loan, bills, in Ch. 7 case, if I must have less than $300 in checking account?
A: Properly timing the date of filing your case can be key to ensuring that you do not unnecessarily lose assets in the bankruptcy. Your attorney should be able to guide you through this. If you do not have an attorney, this is one of many reasons why you should obtain one.
