Absolutely...in fact if you file BK you must include them
EVERYTHING you own and EVERYTHING you owe is included in the BK and must be reported. They are given different classes, some debts can't be discharged and some assets cannot be taken, and the assets are used to pay the liabilities. YOU CANNOT PICK AND CHOSE WHAT IS INVOLVED.
Secured loans have first call on the money from the sale of the asset that secures the debt...if it isn't enough to pay off the loan...the remainder is a claim as any other general creditor against all other assets.
Yes...those factors make no difference.
Bankruptcy is of an individual or a corporation can not distinguish between creditors.
You don't file bankruptcy "on" any debt. You file bankruptcy because you can't pay your debts, and they must ALL be listed. If the house is worth less than the first mortgage payoff, the second may be crammed down in a C. 13. If the plan is not completed, it may be resurrected.
No, both parties on a joint mortgage do not need to file bankruptcy. They can file a joint bankruptcy or a single bankruptcy.
It depends on whether the second mortgage attaches to any equity in the property. If the house is worth as much or more than the first mortgage balance, you may well be able to.
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.
what happens when you file bankruptcy and your second home you own as an investment is placed in the bankruptcy by mistake the house getsfor closed on and sold but no title search is done to see that there are actually two mortgages on the house who is responsible for the second mortgage
Better consult an Attorney in your jurisdiction for the same.
Yes, you can file a Chapter 7 to have the debt liquidated or a 13 to go into repayment.
yes
That would be a good trick No if you go bankrupt all of you goes bankrupt, Unles you have freinds in high places. Can't spell and is dangerously wrong. You can only "cram down" the second mortgage in a Chapter 13, and only if there is no equity for the second to attach to. But it can be done if you meet those criteria. You don't "file bankruptcy" on a debt. You file bankruptcy and list all your debts.
