That would be one solution, assuming that bankruptcy makes sense otherwise. If he has low income, owns little or nothing, and has other significant deaths, this could be a reasonable option.

No the automatic stay does not protect you automatically from a lanlord eviction. However there is a section of the bankruptcy code that allows you to pay the rent you are behind on into the court and force the landlord to accept it. Then you can finish the remaining months of your lease. This... View More 
If so does that mean she doesn’t have to pay me what the judge ordered her to pay and is there a way to stop her from not paying us and adding it to the bankruptcy when she files? We filed the case in small claims before she ever started to file for bankruptcy but now she’s saying her lawyer is... View More

While she can add the back rent to the Bankruptcy, she cant just live there for free. If she is a Chapter 13, she has to bring current and stay current
If a Chapter 7, she either has to pay or get out

Have the dog chipped and registered to you and then it’s your dog.
it to them?? and it says the letter needs to be "served" to the trustee and debtors counsel?? again, mail it?
answered on Aug 12, 2020
Yes. You may file by mail and yes serving means mailing a copy to debtors counsel and the trustee.
Or is a letter to the case attorneys enough?? I am in Louisville, KY but the case is in the United States Bankruptcy Court District of Delaware.
answered on Aug 6, 2020
A letter is sufficient if it sets out your objection to the claim, is filed with the court and served upon the trustee and the debtors counsel.

Don't ask me! Ask your wife's lawyer!
You have given no underlying facts that support anything, so giving you an opinion is worthless.

In Kentucky since you own the LLC solely it is solely your asset. A Trustee may be able to sell assets of the LLC. If the LLC had other members this is generally not possible for the Trustee.
In the agreement, they suppose to deed me 8 acres of land once the final bond phase is up. They are currently going through the bankrupt.

No! In the bankruptcy petition the Debtor should have announced his option to pay the lease and accept it or reject it. If this is a lease and the bankruptcy was filed during an eviction proceeding the debtor may deposit any overdue funds with the court and accept the lease but immediately cure... View More
The CARES act seems to be very clear that the Stimulus money cannot be used as "income" when FILING bankruptcy or when CONFIRMING the chapter 13 plan. The language isn't quite as clear for people currently in a confirmed Chapter 13 plan. Will I be able to keep the stimulus money or... View More

No. You should be able to keep your stimulus check if you otherwise qualify.
It taken off. Well she went through district court instead of bankruptcy court. I have sold my place. Is this legal?
answered on Feb 12, 2020
Not without approval of court bc the 2019 refund is an asset of the estate.

Yes, we file bankruptcy for just one spouse all the time. The means test does use the income for both spouses to determine whether a Chapter 13 or 7 should be filed but most of the time just one spouse can file.

answered on Jul 8, 2019
Please correct me if I've misunderstood, but in your question you indicated that you filed bankruptcy in 2008, but then refinanced the car in 2011. If the refinance took place after the bankruptcy, that's new debt which isn't included in the 2008 case. As such the creditors are... View More
I draw just over $700 a month and they're taking just under $300. Could I file for bankruptcy to get rid of these judgments even though they were from a bankruptcy court, or what can I do?
answered on Jun 23, 2019
No. You cannot discharge payments ordered by the bankruptcy court in a past, present or future bankruptcy filing.
Truly not a fraud charge, we have never discussed bankruptcy, both work 2 jobs and run a business. But suddenly no one wants to give us a loan to consolidate debt and someone suggested a chapter 13. But this vacation is an issue even tho it was 100% non fraudulent
answered on Jun 22, 2019
You’ll have to list it and explain it to the trustee. Probably can be resolved so long as you can show that is not a fraudulent transaction.
