Legal Answers
Q. Hello. I want to purchase a foreclosed home from auction in PA & want know if i am responsible for paying back any lien?
A: I agree with Attorney Winterstein's answer and would add that consulting with an Attorney and with a Title company to research the liens is extremely important. They will know what to look for. If you are a novice, you may miss liens that you could end up being responsible for. If the foreclosure sale is done because of 2nd or 3rd lien it will be sold subject to the senior liens which you will then be responsible for. There may also be Federal and State tax liens which have priority.

As Attorney Winterstein said a foreclosure sale purchase can be very tricky. Consult with professionals with experience in Sheriff sales and title searches. What you pay for the advice upfront will save you a lot of grief and expense down the road. ... Read More
Q. Do I need to file bankruptcy in order to apply federal exemptions to a default judgment against me on an unsecured loan?
A: For Federal Exemptions to apply you would need to be in Federal Court. Pennsylvania has exemptions for levy's and garnishments that a Pennsylvania attorney can advise you of. You should speak with a Pennsylvania attorney in Bradford County so they can assist you with your rights. Since you are on a low fixed income you probably qualify for legal assistance through the Bradford County Bar Association and the Pennsylvania Bar Association Pro Bono legal assistance program. This is the link to that program. https://www.palawhelp.org/ .

If this is your only debt filing bankruptcy isn't a cost-effective way to eliminate this debt. If you contact the attorney that obtained the Judgment against you and explain your situation there is a very good chance that they will either put you on an affordable payment plan, give you a very good settlement amount to pay it off and satisfy your obligation or may even forgive the debt entirely. You may want to contact the creditor's attorney for options and see if they will work with you. ... Read More
