Bankruptcy and Foreclosures
A San Francisco bankruptcy attorney describes how filing bankruptcy may stop a foreclosure.
It is possible to avoid foreclosure by filing for bankruptcy. When a bankruptcy petition is filed an automatic stay goes into effect, protecting the debtor’s home from any adverse action that may otherwise be taken by the lender. If the debtor files for chapter 13 bankruptcy, a repayment plan is submitted to the court for approval. The chapter 13 plan generally provides for the mortgage arrears to be repaid over the course of 36-60 months, allowing the borrower to remain in the home while those payments are being made.
