- Q. My elderly parents have no property, but a lot of debt. If they file for bankruptcy can they keep their annuity payments
- A: This is going to depend on the nature of the annuity payments. If the annuity is a qualified retirement account, it's protected in bankruptcy. If it's some other form of financial product, the annuity might not be safe. Have your parents schedule a free consultation with a local bankruptcy attorney so they can get information based on the specific details of their situation.
- Q. With booming housing market, can I sell my house for over the homestead exemption?
- A: 1. Ask your lawyer. 2. If you don't have a lawyer and the Trustee's filed a report of no distribution, pay your court filing fee, file the Debtor Education Certificate, and wait for the case to close on its own. Because Trustees in CO don't routinely file motions to abandon themselves you can't sell the home until the case is closed as the home remains in the estate. If you file your own motion to abandon, you'll tip the trustee off that there may actually be non-exempt equity in the home. They may ignore it, or they may take a second look at your house.
- Q. Can personal bankruptcy eliminate the debt for a $20,000 judgement for a traffic crash while driving with no insurance?
- A: If you are involved in an auto accident and you don’t have insurance, your driver’s license can be suspended under Colorado’s Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law. In order to have your license reinstated, you’ll need to obtain insurance and get into a payment plan for the damages caused in the accident. This can be tricky because you might owe a significant amount of money and the payment plan can be expensive. A bankruptcy can help you get your license reinstated right away. Generally, “no new license shall be issued to such person unless and until such judgment is satisfied or vacated or execution therein stayed and proof of financial responsibility given.” However, “[a] discharge in bankruptcy following the rendering of any such judgment shall relieve the judgment debtor from any of [these] requirements”. CO Rev Stat § 42-7-402 (2016). So, as long as the debt resulting from the accident is dischargeable (it wasn’t willful or malicious, you weren’t under the influence, you weren’t ordered to pay restitution, etc.), the bankruptcy eliminates the requirement that you pay off the debt. How quickly your license is reinstated will come down to the DMV clerk you’re working with. In a recent case we filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy for an individual on a Friday, and he had his license reinstated on the following Monday.
