Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New Jersey

Re: Bankruptcy where a house is involved

I have read what the other lawyer said, and he is completely correct: if you are the person who wants to file bankruptcy, PLEASE hire a bankruptcy attorney. Yes, it is expensive, but you really must do it to be sure you do not lose the house. You would be very foolish to try to do-it-yourself.

However, I suspect that you are the other person on the deed, not the ones who are bankrupt. You need good legal advice, fast. And no, I can not explain it all on this website: I need much more info, and it is just too complicated. I do not want to scare you too much, but it might be possible that the house could be taken and sold, and you might just end up with some money (I have no way to know now how much or how little) after the house is sold.

If you would like me to assist, please call my office. I am in Hackensack. A half hour consultation will be $75.00. You can then decide how you would like to proceed.

Just want to echo what the other attorney said. You should at least consult with an attorney. I can refer you to one here in New Brunswick. I know your up north, so you may want one up there.

Re: Bankruptcy where a house is involved

If you own a house and are contemplating bankruptcy you should hire a lawyer. Bankruptcy is not a good subject for a do it yourself project. You are likely to do it wrong and risk your house if you try to do it yourself.
