If the vehicle is titled and registered in her name alone, no, they may not, unless they can prove to the court's satisfaction that the debtor is attempting to shield his assets by placing them in his wife's name.

What happens if you die with debt but you have no assets?

It all depends on how much debts you have...but the general rule is... the debt is left on file,and in effect it is written off...if this is a regulated debt- [i.e BANK-GOVERNMENT TAXES]However...if you have a personal debt ...say from friends or relatives..then some may come and harass your family-in which case you shall have to take legal advise from a Lawyer or the Police in your area ..or even get a Court restraining order against your creditors.Your Family or relatives are not held liable for any of your unpaid debts-unless they have stood as guarantors or signed any surety documents for the loan on your behalf-in which case they stand to pay out-OR UNLESS THE CREDITORS CAN SUCCESSFULLY PROVE THAT YOU HAD "HIDDEN" ASSETS WHICH YOU HAD NOT DECLARED-By this I mean you could have a property or investment hidden as a guise under ..say your wifes name or whoever! The Law may be different in some countries,so please seek expert local advise from a lawyer.

Can the bankruptcy court take your tax refund for 2004 if bankruptcy was filed in Dec 2004 if this was not discussed at the Creditors Meeting?

I think it depends on when your debts are discharged. If they were already discharged, it was a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and it wasn't discussed at the creditors meeting, then the refund is yours. Besides, imagine if you filed on April 15th. You might not get your refund until later June or almost July, and that's months from when your debts were discharged. I'm pretty sure it's yours.

If you inherit a house can creditors take that house to pay outstanding debts?

Most states provide some form of homestead exemption against creditors for your primary residence. However, the amount protected varies by state. The inherited property may be vulnerable to your creditors. Your creditors may seek judgment liens in civil court and may be able to record those liens in the land records thereby preventing a refinance or sale until the liens are paid. You should consult with an attorney, perhaps the attorney who is handling the estate.


Scores Credit: How To Improve Your Beacon Score With Ease?

Scores credit is a very serious subject that should not be taken lightly. It is virtually impossible to get exceptional terms on loans if you have a low credit score. This is the primary reason why one should take measures that will help them maintain or improve their credit score.

Are adult children responsible for their deceased parent's unpaid nursing home bills?

No. Not unless they agreed in writing to be responsible for those bills. A parent's estate is responsible for paying their debts whether those debts are for a nursing home, credit cards or utility bills. Their property cannot be distributed until the debts are paid. If there are not enough assets in the estate the creditors are out of luck. The exception is mortgages. If the mortgage isn't paid the bank will take possession of the property by foreclosure.
