Wording is confusing..but this system does that.

Basically, the owner of the property should respond (answer) th petition (made by someone else) to foreclose on the property. (That petition will be baseed on some type of loan/lien by somone that is attached to the property...even if the loan itself is to someone that isn't the owner and he just allowed his property to be security). If it is owned by the business, than the business responds, etc.

I'm not sure where your mechanics lien thing plays in...if there is one on the property it takes precedence to even a 1st position mortgage...and will be paid by the foreclosure process as the court distributes the funds from the bankruptcy sale and gives a clear title to the new buyer.

You should probably notify the one forcing the bankruptcy (the lender) and the Court that you are asserting your rights and have a mechanics lien.

In most states, if your mechanics lien is older than 30 day and has NOT been officially recorded, then it may become junior (below) other recorded liens and you may have limited, if any, recovery.

Does reaffirmation apply to ch 13 And if so and your mortgage was not reaffirmed can the mortgage company foreclose if mortgage payments are current How about after discharge of the debt?

Reaffirmation does apply to Chapter 13 bankruptcies, and the benefit of filing a Chapter 13 case is that you are usually able to retain your home (as opposed to a Chapter 7 case, where all of your assets are normally sold). Customarily, the debtor and lender enter into an agreement within the bankruptcy to cure the arrearages over a period of time while the debtor continues to make monthly payments. That said, if the debtor falls behind on the payments, the lender can petition the court for relief from the automatic stay and proceed to foreclosure. A lender may never foreclose if the mortgage payments are current and the debtor is in compliance with the other provisions of the mortgage. If your lender is foreclosing and you believe that you have made your payments on time (or adequately cured the arrearage in the bankruptcy), then you should contact an attorney immediately.

What happens if one tenant in common records a note or mortgage?

If the tenant in common who mortgaged her half interest defaults on the loan then the lender can only foreclose on that half interest. The lender would have to share the property with you. It could petition to partition the property, try to force a sale and share the proceeds with you. Their legal costs would come out of their half not yours. A foreclosure and partition would be very expensive for the lender. The important point here is that your half is free and clear of the mortgage unless you signed it.
