In many cases, when a home’s equity is $10,000 or less, the sale of a personal residence can be prevented. Personal property, including vehicles, household goods, and clothing have exemption limits and then there is the all important “wildcard exemption,” which can be used where most needed/desired. It is not uncommon for a bankruptcy trustee to determine that the assets involved lack enough value to liquidate, in which case you are allowed to keep your property. In situations of sentimental value, many trustees will allow, with the court’s permission, an owner to “buy back” his or her property before it is offered to the general public for sale.
There are other considerations to factor into the decision making process, such as income tax owed on any part of a forgiven debt, since the IRS considers that as income. Alpharetta bankruptcy liquidation attorney J Thomas Salata knows how to use the law to full advantage and negotiate the best possible settlement for your particular case.
