Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Lawyer Information
Bankruptcy is conducted in the federal courts. Bankruptcy is effectively a lawsuit that is filed against creditors. In order to file a bankruptcy, you must complete documents for filing with the court, you must complete a credit counseling course, and you must provide financial information for the court. After a case is filed, you will be required to meet with a trustee about 30 days after your case is filed. The process is different for chapter 7, 11, and 13 cases. The bankruptcy process should be completed for a chapter 7 in approximately 4 to 6 months from the date of filing. A chapter 13 case goes from 3 to 5 years. A chapter 11 case may be from 6 months to 1-1/2 years. During each step, we provide support and assistance to our clients.
Stop Foreclosures Near Houston TX
If you own a home, this is probably your largest and most valuable asset. A bankruptcy petition stops the foreclosure of your home – it stops foreclosures on any type of physical property that you own. The lender has no option once a bankruptcy case is filed. The bankruptcy also allows you to restructure the amount you are behind and pay the past due amount over a period of up to 5 years. Even if you do not think you can afford your home, a bankruptcy may restructure the debts on your house to make it affordable. Please be aware – if you wait to act until after the foreclosure sale, you are probably too late in Texas. There is no right of redemption for foreclosures (except for ad valorem taxes).
