How does one ask the courts permission to sell assets during a chpt 7 bankruptcy?
Rainmanut37
In general, you don't. Any asset that is not exempt or abandoned by the trustee may be sold after the discharge is entered.
It is possible to have an asset that is exempt and that you have to sell before the Chapter 7 has been completed, but in 37 years of doing bankruptcies I have never had one.
If you do not need the asset or cannot exempt the asset, the trustee will be happy to take possession of it and auction it off for his benefit and that of the unsecured creditors.
Selling an asset before the Chapter 7 is completed will result in the trustee bringing an adversiarial fraud action against the debtor.

In Illinois how do you obtain vehicle title after bankruptcy?
What could you possibly be asking? If the asset was sold during bankruptcy to pay creditors and your debts, its gone. Owned by someone else. That's how your debts get paid. Your assets are used. If there aren't enough assets to liquidate and pay your debts, some of the debts may be forgiven. But not always. Under any circumstances, to get a title to something owned by someone else, you buy it from them. Bankruptcy does not get you things.

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.

It would be foolish. The Bankruptcy Court can determine how much of your tax liability will be paid and how much forgiven in the BK. Federal BK Courts have very broad authority and even trump the Fed Tax Courts. Besides being "foolish", the answer is no. You cannot file an Offer in Compromise, and the IRS cannot accept an Offer in Compromise, if you are in bankruptcy proceedings.

Bankruptcy Worksheet?
Get StartedA debtor is a person or entity that owes a debt or obligation to another. A creditor is a person or entity to whom a debt is owed.The United States Bankruptcy Code is a federal law that permits qualified debtors to:discharge some or all of their debts in exchange for giving up all of their nonexempt assets, orreorganize their debts in an attempt to pay them back under relaxed terms.A bankruptcy may be voluntary (initiated by the debtor) or involuntary (initiated by the creditors). To begin a voluntary bankruptcy, the debtor files a petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court. Upon filing the petition, the debtor receives an automatic "stay" which orders creditors to pause in their collection efforts during the bankruptcy process. The debtor must file detailed information with the bankruptcy court identifying all assets, debts and creditors. All creditors must be notified of the bankruptcy so that each creditor can file notice of its claim with the bankruptcy court.By filing the petition, the debtor permits the creation of the bankruptcy "estate" which includes all of the debtor's assets, except those assets that the debtor successfully claims as "exempt" (those that are necessary so that the debtor can live and work). The rules for determining what property becomes part of the bankruptcy estate are complex. A court-appointed bankruptcy trustee administers the estate.There are several different types of bankruptcy to choose from. Each type is referred to by the Chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code in which it appears. In general, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy results in a sale of all of the debtor's non-exempt assets, but most debts are then discharged. Note that a debtor cannot discharge its debts if the new petition is filed within 6 years of a prior bankruptcy petition. In a rehabilitation case filed under Chapters 11, 12, or 13, the debtor retains his assets and makes payments to the creditors, usually from the post-bankruptcy earnings, pursuant to a court-approved payment plan which is more relaxed than it had been before bankruptcy.Anyone who is interested in filing bankruptcy should consult a qualified attorney.
