Assuming you mean Employee Stock Purchase Plan, it seems to depend on whether you have purchased stock under the plan. In that case, it is an asset and if you have no exemption that applies to it, its value must be included. Some ESPP vest only on retirement and becomes part of your retirement, which would be exempt.

I recommend consulting a local bankruptcy lawyer with experience in this area.

Chapter 7 discharged bankrupcya cousin is now trying to take you to court for money that you borrowed a year before you filed for bankruptcy are you protected under the bankruptcy?

If you included it in your bankruptcy, you're protected by the discharge. If you didn't and you're already discharged from Chapter 7, you may not be protected. I suggest you discuss this with your bankruptcy lawyer.

Question is unclear but - any debts which you incurred before bankruptcy filing but were not presented until AFTER your bankruptcy petition is accepted, are subject to the bankruptcy. HOWEVER - after the bankruptcy has been filed, you may NOT go out and incur NEW debt. Any newly incurred debt will NOT be protected by the bankruptcy shield.

You are protected during the term of his bankruptcy. If he does not resolve the debt under it, you will remain responsible.


If you file bankruptcy?

What happens if you file bankruptcy differs depending on what chapter of bankruptcy you or your business decides to file under. The most common form of bankruptcy for the individual is Chapter 7. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the banks may liquidate property and assets-except things that are explicitly protected. After this, most debts are forgiven-but not all, as certain debts do not qualify. Your credit score will then be severely damaged by the filing, but you will be free to slowly bring it back up as you will not be suffocated by debt. The article below goes into further detail on the process of bankruptcy.


How soon after filing chapter 13 can you hope to buy a home?

The best time to purchase a new home after filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy depends on how long your bankruptcy will be. If you have your payments on a five year plan, then you may have to wait a little longer.
