Applications including two co-applicants who have applied for my rental property have filed for BK chap-7. Two of the applicant's BK is in Discharge status (2018) but the third one's BK (Oct 2020) is in filed status. Should I rent my property for them? What are the pros and cons? Would my... Read more »

It appears that you are dealing with them in what we call "post petition". The fact that a Chapter 7 is pending may present an issue if the bankrupt proceeds without the consultation with his counsel, and probably the trustee, but I cannot see how your property would be included in any...

Yes. Very technical and confusing.

My son is the defendant of a multi million dollar civil suit. He is a broke college student. If found guilty can he file bankruptcy to wipe out the debt?

There are some things that can be objected to and then cannot be discharged in Bankruptcy. You might contact a BK attorney with more specificity to get a more detailed analysis. I think it might be worth try and then hope no one objects but without more facts it's hard to know for sure without... Read more »

There is no best way!
Personal loans to people you know (and obviously care about) can be reached by the trustee and clawed back into the Chapter 7 estate. Should you lie about in on your schedules is is bankruptcy fraud.

As long as there is no legal action pending (i.e. a divorce) and as long as you are not represented by counsel, you are helpless. The first step towards getting control over the situation is getting court orders. Start by filing a petition for dissolution.
Timely claims of general (unsecured) créditos totaling $35,118 have been allowed and will be paid pro rats only after all allowed administrative and priority claims have been paid in full. Does this mean I have to pay that or they telling me they will pay it or they paid it??

The Trustee's report is about what the trustee will pay, or has paid, to creditors. Secured and priority claims are always paid before any distribution to general unsecured claims, which in either a Ch. 13 or Ch. 7 are usually discharged at the end of the case.
