Q. Does only one person (husband or wife) have to file bankruptcy to stop Trust Deed Sale?

March 29, 2024

A: Either the husband or wife may file a bankruptcy petition to stop a deed of trust sale when husband and wife are both note holders for the mortgage, so long as the filing spouse qualifies for the bankruptcy protection through the automatic stay provided by the bankruptcy code under 11 U.S. Code § 362.

Husband and wife are not required to file jointly to stop the foreclosure. However, analysis of the filing spouse's circumstances are necessary to confirm the availability and length of the automatic stay available though bankruptcy.
