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.
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.
No.
i wouldn't sell it but instead invest in it till it adds value
You will need to obtain the consent of the Chapter 7 trustee before selling any property of the bankruptcy estate.
Don't sell the home without legal council. It'll be impossible to re-buy later (given the scant information I have at hand).
While participating in a chapter 13 the petitioner cannot refinance, sell, transfer or otherwise real property without receiving permission from the bankruptcy court/trustee to take the action. Therefore the issues cited are not relevant until/unless permission is granted.
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.
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.
You can buy it from the bank
If the value of the assets greatly exceed the allowable exemptions, then yes they can be seized.
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.
Medicare isn't like welfare. You can sell your home, move to an apartment and still have medicare.
