I agree with Mr. Greer. Additionally, if the contractor violated the trust fund statute, you can have the debt declared non-dischargeable by the bankruptcy court and get triple damages and attorney fees.

Company B is likely just the servicer and not the actual note holder. This happens routinely and and is generally nothing to worry about.

There's not nearly enough information here to advise you of your options. I suggest you get a consultation with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer - most of us will give you a free consultation.

Yes.

The question comes down to who owns the property and who merely has certain rights to use it. Most of the time, though not always, one party is the owner and the other two have easements allowing them to use the owner's road or driveway. I suggest you find out from a title company or a trip to... View More

Your penalties may be dischargeable in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy depending on how old they are, whether you filed the returns on time and whether a tax lien was recorded. Other factors need to be considered (e.g. your income, assets, other debt, etc.) Check with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer as... View More

Check ownership of the Colorado property with the county assessor. If it was held as tenants in common, his share passes to your brother's estate and whatever arrangements he made. If it is held as joint tenants with right of survivorship, his interest expired upon his death and the... View More

There many ways to do this including a trust. The simplest and cheapest way is to have them execute and record a beneficiary deed to their heirs. The heirs would have no present interest in the property, but upon the death of the last one, the home would pass to the heirs by operation of law and... View More

First, you must list all debts including your car loan. If it is like most auto loans, it is probably none of these. You should consult with a bankruptcy attorney.

Yes

You may be able to avoid this lien in a bankruptcy. Since your husband is over 60, the home is entitled to a $105,000 homestead exemption. If your equity does not exceed this amount, a bankruptcy would allow you to keep the home and lose the lien. There may be other factors involved, so check with... View More

You may need a quiet title action, but I would try something else first. See if the title company will accept a certified copy of the divorce decree showing the name change. Alternatively, you might file a CRCP Rule 70 motion to ask the court to execute the correction deed in her name.

The Colorado legislature made rent control by municipalities illegal and that position was affirmed by the Colorado Supreme Court. Chief Justice Malarkey dissented but was out voted. The legislature could always change that. That would be a bad idea in my opinion. See the link below.... View More

You can amend the schedules at any time during (and even after) the case. It's better to do it before someone else discovers the oversight so you can't be accused of being dishonest.

The lease gives the tenants the right to possession until it expires. Unless they violate some covenant of the lease, you will have to wait.

Yes you can. However, you must disclose all such transfers. If you did not get equivalent value in return, the bankruptcy trustee can sue the person you transferred the property to and make them give/pay it back. If you don't disclose all such transfers, you will have committed a federal felony.

I respectfully disagree. You are liable for post petition fees as long as title is in your name. It sounds like the first foreclosure never went to sale, so you still held legal title until the second sale was completed.

You should have required releases upon payment (I'm sure you know this). A lawsuit to foreclose any mechanics lien must be filed no later than 6 months after the work is completed or the lien expires. Even if not paid, these liens would have expired long ago and you should not have to do... View More

Generally, the tenant has the right to exclusive possession of the entire rented premises. I would need to see the lease to be sure, but the neither the owner nor a third person can violate the tenant's right of possession unless that area was excluded from the leased premises.

Any bankruptcy filing must include all your assets and all your creditors. There is no such thing as a selective bankruptcy.
