Bankruptcy has the power to:

  • Eliminate the legal obligation to pay most or all of your debts. This is called a “discharge” of debts. It is designed to give you a fresh financial start
  • Stop foreclosure on your house and give you the opportunity to catch up on missed payments. However, bankruptcy does not automatically eliminate mortgages and other liens on your property without payment.
  • Prevent repossession of a car or other property, or force the creditor to return property even after it has been repossessed.
  • Restore or prevent termination of utility service.
  • Stop wage garnishment, debt collection harassment, and similar creditor actions to collect a debt.
  • Allow you to challenge the claims of creditors who have committed fraud or who are otherwise trying to collect more than you really owe.

What property do I include on my petition?

In order for you to be granted relief from your debts by filing for bankruptcy, you are going to have to disclose every property interest you own or are entitled to receive. These disclosures will be made in your bankruptcy petition. When you file the bankruptcy petition with the court, your bankruptcy estate is automatically created.

Listen up … (when the bankruptcy paralegal speaks).

My name is Veronica Feinstein and I’ve been working with Attorney George Weber as his bankruptcy paralegal since February, 2010. While my paralegal background is in residential real estate, when the real estate bubble burst, I found myself joining the ranks of the unemployed. It was after being unemployed for close to two years thatAttorney.
