Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy, you are giving up your assets. If you want to keep your home and car you would need to file a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.


If you file bankruptcy in one state and own a home in another state may you keep it?

The answer depends on the type of bankruptcy you file and the value of your home. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may be required to sell the home unless it falls within certain exemption limits. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can typically keep your home and create a repayment plan to catch up on missed mortgage payments. It's best to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to understand your specific situation.

How long until a bank seizes your house after you file for bankruptcy?

Most banks won't seize your home after bankruptcy. One of the key purposes of bankruptcy is to preserve the living assets and provide the individual with another chance (albeit with a lot less credit flexibility).

[opinion] If you are in a situation where foreclosure is on the horizon and you have tried to negotiate with creditors to no avail, you will want to consider bankruptcy in order to hold onto your home. While the debt associated with your mortgage may not be forgiven as a result of the bankruptcy, you WILL force a renegotiation and you WILL keep your home.
