How long does it take for a bankruptcy trustee to approve a mortgage loan while still in chapter 13 bankruptcy?

The approval process for a mortgage loan during Chapter 13 bankruptcy can vary, but it typically takes several weeks to a few months. The bankruptcy trustee must review and approve the loan, ensuring it aligns with the repayment plan and does not negatively affect the debtor's financial situation. Factors such as the complexity of the case and the lender's requirements can influence the timeline. It's essential to communicate with both the trustee and the lender to expedite the process.

What are the various categories of bankruptcy individuals can file for?

It depends on if its for an individual or business. For an individual there is Chapter 7 and 13. In chapter 7 you will basically repay your debt at a reasonable amount to a trustee over the course of 5 years. In Chapter 13 your assets, (home car) are safe as long as you make the payments to the trustee. In Chapter 7 basically every debt is wiped out (but you'll take a big hit on your credit score) and your assets are not safe. A trustee can order your assets (car,home) to be sold to pay off your creditors.

How long does it take for a trustee to refund your tax refund after filing chapter 7 bankruptcy?

The tax refund goes into the bankruptcy estate. If your chapter 7 filing did not exempt the refund, the money will be used to pay the trustee and to pay your debts pro rata. That is, each creditor gets an amount equal to the percentage the debt is to the total indebtedness. You are not likely to get anything back, but if all the debts are paid off 100 per cent and the trustee is not entitled to any more money, the balance will be paid to you. The trustee should have decided what s/he is going to do. If you have a lawyer, s/he should discuss it with the trustee. You can also talk to the trustee or your case manager. I doubt you will get any of the refund, but make sure to stay on top of the issue and get notices of any trustee motions regarding these funds.


Can you sell your home during a Chapter 7?

In most cases you can, I had this same issue filing a chapter 7 and someone wants to purchase my home, I contacted my bankruptcy attorney and he said as long as there is not a lot of equity like $4000 or less than it is ok, but the trustee will be notified. I would advise anyone to wait if you have a large amount of equity.
