Bankruptcy Options for Saving Your Home

June 18, 2020

Ready to Assist with Repayment of Mortgage Arrears in Chapter 13

Clients who are worried about saving their homes have multiple options through bankruptcy. Any bankruptcy filing will provide for an automatic stay. This powerful provision of the bankruptcy code requires all foreclosure actions on a property to be temporarily stopped immediately upon filing the bankruptcy. In order to gain a better understanding of how bankruptcy can benefit you and assist you in saving your home from foreclosure, contact Leibowitz Law Group right away.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Repayment Plans

Unlike Chapter 7, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows debtors to pay back arrearages on their homes over a 36- to 60-month period of time. Should the debtor complete this repayment plan and stay current on the payments for home throughout the repayment period, then the debtor will be able to keep the home regardless of the bank’s intentions to foreclose.

How Lien Stripping Can Help

As part of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, a debtor may be able to strip off a second or third mortgage upon completion of the Chapter 13 plan. After you receive a discharge in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will never have to pay on your second or third mortgage ever again if you are eligible for lien stripping. Lien stripping can potentially result in savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars. A qualified attorney at Leibowitz Law Group can determine whether you qualify for a lien strip.
