If the Chapter 13 Plan is still being paid and is still needed, it can continue. Someone will have to be responsible to continue the plan, whether there is an estate fiduciary (executor or administrator) or not. Check with the Chapter 13 Trustee.
It depends on the chapter you filed under. If you filed under Chapter 7, you have to wait 8 years before filing again. If you filed under Chapter 13, you only have to wait four years.
4 years between filings.
Yes about every 7 years. * A chapter 7 can be filed 8 years after a previous chapter 7 discharge. A chapter 13 can be filed 4 years after a discharge of a BK 7, 11 or 12 and two years after a discharged 13.
From when the BK was first filed.
There are no time limits for filing a Chapter 13.
Two years after the date of the chapter 13 dismissal.
No.
No. A Chapter 13 that is converted to Chapter 7 must have been ORIGINALLY filed at least 8 years from the prior Chapter 7. So, if you filed Chapter 7 in 2001, then filed Chapter 13 in 2005, you can't wait until 2009 and then convert the 13 to 7 since it was filed within 4 years of the prior 7. In this case, you would have to wait until 2009 and then DISMISS the Chapter 13 and re-file a new Chapter 7 after the 8 years from the prior 7 expired.

8 years between chapter 7 BKs.
You can file bankruptcy again 7 years after the last time you filed.
Chapter 7 will stay on your credit report for 10 years from the date bankruptcy was filed. Chapter 13 typically stays on your credit report for 7 years from the date the bankruptcy was filed, however, can remain on your credit report for 10 years.
