In my state the trustee can not order this but each State has a percentage of the equity in the home that may have to be used to pay creditors. You can tell the Trustee that you will refinance the loan if you need to after one year. You can Show them FHA Guidelines that state you must make your payments for one year on time before you can refinance or buy another home. You can do this even if you are still in a chapter 13. However your paments can not be more than your piti [ your payment, insurance, and taxes per month. pmi also it you have this ]. You can midigate this by getting an appraisal showing the trustee you do not have the equity in your home. Ask your attorney what the ratio is in your state concerning equity.

If your mortgage arrears were included in Chapter 13 and when you refinanced you had to pay the arrears to the mortgage company and also to the trustee do you get this money back and if so how?

Your trustee is the only person who can advise you. However, it has been my experience (mortgage lending) that you must first obtain the trustee's permission to refinance and I believe the full amount is always due to the mortgage company.


Why does the second mortgage holder have to approve of the first mortgage refinance?

Can you use the funds in your irrevocable trust to pay off your first mortgage?

Generally, funds in an irrevocable trust cannot be used to pay off a mortgage unless the trust document specifically allows for such distributions. The trustee must adhere to the terms set forth in the trust, which typically restricts access to the trust assets for the benefit of the grantor. If the trust permits, the trustee can manage the funds to pay off the mortgage, but this often requires careful consideration of the trust's purpose and the beneficiaries' interests. Always consult a legal professional for advice tailored to your specific situation.

What if you pay your first mortgage but not your home equity?

If you have a first mortgage and a home equity mortgage, the home equity mortgage is a second mortgage. If the home equity mortgage is not paid, the lender can foreclose and take possession of the property subject to the first mortgage. The home equity lender can pay off the first mortgage and keep any excess proceeds from a sale.

If you are keeping your house and you have a first and a second, your second will not go away. If you are letting your house go, then the first and second will go. If your house is more than or equal to your first mortgage and you file a chapter 13, then your second will be "gone" in the end.

Can you sell your car and pay off the loan after filing chapter 7 but before the discharge?

Well first and foremost I would not suggest doing so without first consulting your attorney. If you are representing yourself contact the trustee administering the case. However with that said the clearest answer is you cannot until the trustee has abandoned their interest in the property. If a trustee has done so it will be a part of the case history.

Can bankruptcy cause your oil and gas lease to be liquidated?

Yes, leases are property rights and would therefore be considered assets subject to liquidation by the BK trustee- this applies in chapter 7 BKs. In chapter 13 BKs, you would still be able to keep all your property (assumes creditors would collect more in a chapter 13 than a chapter 7, otherwise you would not qualify to file chapter 13 in the first place). If the leases themselves have very little value then its likely that the trustee would "abandon" the property back you you.
