How do you apply for a default judgment?

In Florida, when a party against whom action for affirmative relief has been filed (Defendant) fails to file an answer or serve any paper in the action within the time frame permitted by the rules of civil procedure, the party seeking relief (Plaintiff) may have the Clerk of the Court enter a default. The Plaintiff files a Motion for Default with the Clerk and provides a proposed Order. The Clerk will review the file and if it is found no answer was filed by the Defendant, the Clerk will sign the Order entering the Default.

What is the difference between a Deed and a Deed Of Trust?

A deed is the instrument used to transfer title to real estate. A deed of trust transfers property to someone to be held in trust for another. A deed of trust can have different meanings in different jurisdictions. In some states a deed of trust has the effect of a mortgage. A trustee holds the property until the debt has been paid. In other jurisdictions a deed of trust is a deed that transfers real property to a trustee who will hold title to the property indefinitely according to the terms of the trust. The trust may be one that was created in a separate instrument that is referenced in the deed or the trust may be set forth in the deed itself.

Can a lien be placed on a property that belongs to a debtors child?

I assume you mean a debtor who has had a judgment and a judgment lien entered against him.

In this scenario, there would be certain situations wherein the judgment lien debtor's child interests could be affected, although no true legal liability would attach to the debtor's child's interests. However, these would only extend to property owned in some way jointly with the debtor himself or herself.

Assuming you refer to real property, if a debtor and the debtor's child were to own real property in a joint tenancy with right of survivorship, such a judgment lien could attach to and encumber the property. This is similarly true with a tenancy in common.

If possible, the lien would only encumber the real property to the extent of the debtor's property interest. And, if at all possible, any kind of equitable partition that could be ordered by the court would be ordered upon motion, to sever the debtor's child's property interest from the encumbrance.

Since partition is often not practical, a lien against the debtor as joint owner could adversely affect--practically but not legally--the debtor's child's property interests. This could extend to foreclosure of the lien; however, the court could be moved in several ways to facilitate preservation of the debtor's child's property interests to the greatest extent possible.

How can a person be removed from a deed?

Answergo to a realestate lawyer

Amending a deed in most cases only requires that the involved parties file the proper forms (such as a quit claim) at the property recorder's office in the county where the property is located.

Answer

If the person is living they must convey their interest to a new owner by executing a deed.

If the person is deceased the owner by survivorship can have a new deed drafted by an attorney and recorded in the land records. However, a new deed is not required in that case. A copy of the death certificate recorded in the land records will effectively perfect title in the survivor.

If the person is deceased and was the owner or a tenant in common their estate must be probated. The attorney who handles the probate can draft a new deed to reflect the change in ownership.

Deeds are the form used to make changes in the ownership of real property.

In Maryland if a chapter 13 is dismissed for missed plan payments can you refile chapter 13 immediately?

Under the changes to the bankruptcy law, a debtor can refile his Chapter 13 case. You will have to provide the judge a good reason to allow it, (which really means something like a change in your financial situation so you can now do what you didn't)...not that you now understand want it more than before. Some judges flex a bit on this, but it is very situational.

If case #2 is filed within 12 months that case #1 was pending, then the automatic stay is not absolute. Instead, the automatic stay does go into effect, but it terminates in 30 days unless the debtor files a motion with the court and convinces the judge to extend the stay. If the judge does not extend the stay, then it would come to an end in 30 days and the creditors/mortgage company would be free to re-start foreclosure/collection proceedings.

Will a foreclosure from someone's past affect their spouse's credit?

I hate to sound like a lawyer, but it depends. If you have separate credit reporting accounts, it may affect the wife's credit slightly. If there is only a joint credit account, yes, it will affect the wife's credit the same as the husband's.

You can ask the 3 major credit reporting agencies (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax) to separate out your credit histories. If the foreclosure has already started, it may be too late. Get a free credit report from each (once each year) at www.annualcreditreport.com.

Can a chapter 13 bankruptcy stop a foreclosure sale?

One of the most important aspects of Chapter 13 bankruptcy and how it relates to the home mortgage foreclosure process is its ability to put the entire proceedings on hold, no matter how far along they have gone or when they homeowners file for bankruptcy. This means that foreclosure victims can, in many cases, wait until just a few hours before their home is scheduled to be auctioned at a county sheriff sale, and still have the sale stopped.

The stopping of an auction is possible by filing bankruptcy due to the fact that filing immediately creates a federal court order known by the term "Order for Relief." This is also commonly referred to as the "automatic stay," and prohibits any creditors from continuing to engage in collection activities. As the sale of a property to satisfy a foreclosure judgment counts as a collection effort on the part of the mortgage company, the auction is prohibited by federal court order once the homeowners enter into bankruptcy.

Due to the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act, passed in October 2005, homeowners with little time to find a solution need to be aware of at least one new aspect of filing bankruptcy. A new requirement stipulates that borrowers must have attended credit counseling within the 180-day period before the petition is filed with the court. If homeowners have not completed this before they file, the bankruptcy will have no effect.

For homeowners who are considering filing bankruptcy to stop foreclosure on the day of the county auction, it is even more important to make sure the credit counseling requirement is taken care of. Courts are split as to whether or not counseling on the same day as the filing is acceptable or not, with some agreeing that same-day counseling just needs to be completed before the petition is filed, while others argue that the counseling should be done at least one day in advance. As a general rule, it may be better just to get the counseling done long before a final decision as to whether or not to file is made.

One of the main drawbacks to filing bankruptcy a few hours before the sheriff sale of a foreclosed house, though, is that the county government will typically not be aware of the automatic stay going into effect until after the house has been auctioned. The courts do not move swiftly enough to alert all creditors that the borrowers have filed their petition with the court, so it is likely the auction will go ahead as scheduled, while the homeowners will have to try and have the sale rescinded or reversed at a later date.

Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, due to the difficulty of convincing large bureaucracies like banks and county court systems to reverse any of their actions or decisions. Homeowners who know they filed for bankruptcy in time to stop the sale may find out later on that the house was auctioned as planned and that the county no longer lists them as owners of the property. This can be especially frustrating, as it is now up to the owners to proceed correctly to have the sale reversed and their names put back into the ownership records, a process which can take months.
