What if you file bankuptcy and have a reverse mortgage?
The reverse mortgage is typically unaffected by the bankruptcy as the mortgage is usually left out of the bankruptcy- that is a conversation you need to have with your attorney however. The bankruptcy court may look at the amount of equity you have in your home and determine what type of bankruptcy you qualify for. A reverse mortgage can even be used to pay off a bankruptcy or a mortgage in foreclosure as there are no credit requirements on them. I suggest talking to a bankruptcy attorney for information on what is available to you from the courts side of things.
CAN I QUALIFAY FOR A HOUSE LOAN IF I HAD CHAPTER 13?
Yes it is possible to qualify for a mortgage despite a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. In a Chapter 13 filing the debtor agrees to a court structured debt repayment schedule. Typically, after making payments on time to creditors as required by the bankruptcy agreement an individual can be discharged by the Court from the Chapter 13 proceeding. Once discharged from bankruptcy an individual can apply for a mortgage. Each bank has different rules about how soon someone can apply for a mortgage after a bankruptcy. Most people coming out of bankruptcy apply for an FHA mortgage loan since this program has the most lenient underwriting standards.
What happens to a mortgage after a bankruptcy?
What happens to a mortgage after bankruptcy depends on whether or not the debt is reaffirmed.

If the debt is not reaffirmed, what happens to the mortgage depends on the policies of the individual lender.
