No, not unless you are going to spend it right away as well.

This is definitely a strategy/planning meeting you need to have with your bankruptcy attorney.

On the day we file your bankruptcy case, the bankruptcy estate is created.

I get asked this question almost every time, and, to be honest, you’re probably looking at 2-4 hours of your time (if you’re organized).

Your next question will be:

Probably not.

Yes.

Today, I had a potential client ask me the following question via my firm’s Facebook page,https://www.facebook.com/robertspaynelaw :

ive lived in Utah for almost 2yrs now. I want to move back home to Arizona to work with my mom because its tough up here. can I file for bankruptcy in Arizona if I owe it to only Utah?”

The short answer is that bankruptcy is a federal law, and when you receive your Order of Discharge from the federal bankruptcy court, it will be valid in any state of the United States of America.

Show them.

Honestly, it’s that simple.

This is always a tough call.

It’s November, and if a client files bankruptcy this month, he will lose 11/12 of his tax refund next February.

Yes, you can still hold public office.

You’re getting this confused with not being able to vote if you are a felon.

From my personal experience, they are definitely up this month, but it’s a moving target.

According to some real, hard numbers from RealtyTrac, they are up in Utah for the month of October 2014.

RealtyTrac will give you a “UTAH REAL ESTATE STATISTICS & FORECLOSURE TRENDS SUMMARY,” which breaks down the real estate market by various categories.

Probably nothing at all.

Whether you file a chapter 7 or a chapter 13 case, we are required to submit profit/loss statements for your business.

You need special training.
