Best Answer

Yes..However, an attorney should answer this question..I do believe the bankruptcy court must approve of the sale..Any proceeds from the sale that you may pocket, could be used to to pay creditors, if the bankruptcy court orders it.

Can you sell your home if you are under chapter13 bankruptcy?

Yes, but you must get permission from the Court. You do not technically own the home while you are in the bankruptcy - it is property of the bankruptcy estate. Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.

Can you sell your house while in bankruptcy?

You cannot sell your property during a bankruptcy proceeding. If a bona-fide offer is made to purchase the property a motion is filed for permission to sell. If allowed, an order is issued by the court that frees the property from the bankruptcy so it may be sold free and clear of your bankruptcy by the trustee. The proceeds from the sale will then be controlled by the trustee in bankruptcy.


What happens to GM dealers if GM goes bankrupt?

If GM declares bankruptcy and stops making the vehicles sold by a GM dealer, then that dealer will have to find something else to sell or go out of business. Some forms of bankruptcy do not require that the company stop operating, but merely require that they operate under the supervision of a court while they sell off assets and reorganize to better pay off their debts. In that kind of a GM bankruptcy, many GM dealers may continue to have product to sell.

If you file bankruptcy in one state and own a home in another state may you keep it?

The answer depends on the type of bankruptcy you file and the value of your home. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may be required to sell the home unless it falls within certain exemption limits. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can typically keep your home and create a repayment plan to catch up on missed mortgage payments. It's best to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to understand your specific situation.
