Bankruptcy Assistance

The bankruptcy code is a complicated area of law that experienced legal counsel should be sought. Our attorneys handle Chapter 7, 11, 12, and 13 cases throughout California and have a clear understanding of the process.

After a free legal consultation with our attorneys, we can guide you to the right Chapter and how it can help achieve your goals. You can access our blog for information on Reaffirmation Agreements and what you can expect at your Meeting of Creditors.

Knowing what each chapter of bankruptcy is about and who typically files for it can answer important questions you may have or inspire new ones to ask one of our attorneys.

Here are the bankruptcy chapters we can help you file:

• Chapter 7 is a liquidation and is typically the quickest form of bankruptcy to use when clearing your debt. Not everyone is eligible, however, and even if you are eligible it may not be the right choice for you for various reasons your attorney can explain.
• Chapter 13 is often used to restructure debt and save your home. Chapter 13 has an additional benefit of what is commonly known as a lien strip, which may allow you to strip off or avoid the junior mortgage lien on your home if it is wholly unsecured.
• Chapter 12 is a section of the bankruptcy code reserved for agricultural sector. Perhaps the best perk of a Chapter 12 is the valuing of real property and modifying or adjusting the promissory note obligation down to the value of the real property.
• Chapter 11 clients generally have debts that exceed the secured and unsecured debt limits in a Chapter 13 and can be filed by an individual or a business. The goal in a Chapter 11 is to reorganize to allow the individual or business to continue operating while reducing liabilities. Similar to Chapters 12 and 13, real property can be valued which may allow the avoidance of a junior lien or the adjustment of a promissory note, depending on the type of property.

 Short Sales

California real estate law provides that you may be liable on a second, third, fourth, and any other, priority lien on your home for a deficiency balance if the home is sold at a foreclosure auction. Our office provides clients with legal counsel to determine liability on junior liens; we are retained to then negotiate terms in the short sale transaction to reduce or eliminate liability on any junior liens.

Loan Modification & Workouts

If you are having difficulties paying your mortgage or you are currently in foreclosure, you may qualify for a Loan Workout, Forbearance or Repayment Plan. Our staff has helped many homeowners save their homes and avoid foreclosure. It is important when dealing with your most valuable asset to hire a competent firm that has the experience to deliver the results you expect and a dependable firm that will give your case the attention it deserves. When you retain our services, our staff will treat your case as if it were their own.

Adversary Proceeding

During your bankruptcy process, you may need to go through an adversary proceeding or bankruptcy litigation. This is a lawsuit filed by a debtor, a creditor, or a Federal Trustee. An Adversary Proceeding is a complex litigation procedure that requires a knowledgeable attorney.

While there is no guarantee to outcome, having a team like Financial Relief Law Center, APC at your disposal offers you the best chance for a positive outcome.

The most common types of Adversary Proceedings are

• Preferential Transfer Actions – This safeguards a creditor from being accused of transferal allegations where the creditor did not know a business was failing and concealing its inability to pay back debts
• Non-Dischargeability Action – This is the attempt of a creditor to use your record to prevent you from obtaining debt forgiveness. Typically used if the creditor is claiming fraud or misrepresentation.
• Objections To Discharge – This is similar to the above Non-Disagreeability above, however this would bar the debtor from obtaining a discharge of any debts.
• Fraudulent Conveyance Action – This could happen if you recently transferred funds or title to a third party, even if you innocently gifted an asset to a family member or friend. A Trustee could claim that you were trying to avoid a creditor’s due collection.
