Q. Question about receiving an inheritance in the middle of chapter 7 bankrupty.

April 17, 2023

A: I agree with the answers previously given. However, you may want to consider seeking dismissal of the Chapter with the assurance that you will pay the debts now that you have the money. It would save you the fees Attorney Winterstein mentions.

Q. Judgements/ Writ of Execution explanation

March 21, 2023

A: I agree with Attorney Amann. The Writ of Execution is a court order granting the creditor to take possession of your property which is not exempt from the actions of creditors to collect debt. It can include filing with the Hillsborough County Registry of Deeds to lien your property, or to go after personal property. But Attorney Amann's analysis is correct and you should seek counsel.

Q. what is considered an official notice of foreclosure? Notice on our bill. CS said ignore it.

March 2, 2022

A: I am not sure who "CS" is (case servicer?) but in New Hampshire a formal notice of foreclosure must be sent to the last known address of record via certified mail, return receipt requested. It will have a date and time certain as to when the sale will occur. For residential property, this notice must be mailed at least 45 days before the date of the sale. So make sure that the servicer/mortgagee has your correct address so that it does not send any such notice to the wrong address.
