8 South Shore, MA Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy? A: Chapter 7 bankruptcy is called liquidation. It means that the court will appoint a trustee who will take possession of your assets, sell them and then pay as much of your debts as he or she can pay from the available funds. Fortunately Bankruptcy Law does not allow the trustee to take all of your assets. The assets that you are able to keep are called exempt assets. In many cases the exemptions allowed by the court will protect your car, home, retirement funds, clothing, a small amount of jewelry and a moderate amount of money in the bank. In fact the majority of people who file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition can exempt (protect) all of their assets so they do not have to give anything to the trustee. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is called the wage earner plan. In this type of bankruptcy, you do not give up any assets; rather you make monthly payments for a period of 3 to 5 years. The amount of money you pay each month is determined by a formula. The Chapter 13 trustee then pays your creditors as much of your debts as can be paid from the funds available. Once you complete your plan, your remaining debts are discharged. Q: Will I have to give up my car? A: Rarely does a bankruptcy petitioner have to give up their car. Bankruptcy law allows an individual a certain amount of value in an automobile. However, filing a bankruptcy will not eliminate your obligation to pay an automobile loan. If you do not pay your car loan, the automobile finance company may still be able to repossess your vehicle. Q: Will I lose my house? Bankruptcy law exempts a substantial amount of equity in your home. So it is highly unlikely that you will lose your home in a bankruptcy. Q: Can I keep my house and not pay my mortgage? A: Mostly no. Bankruptcy does not relieve your obligation to pay your mortgage. In some cases we can eliminate a second mortgage in a Chapter 13 proceeding. Q: Can you stop foreclosure proceeding with a bankruptcy? A: Once you file a bankruptcy petition, all foreclosure proceedings must immediately stop. However, your creditor has the right to ask the court s permission to resume the foreclosure. In a Chapter 7, if you do not make payment arrangements with your lender the bankruptcy will only delay the foreclosure but not stop it permanently. In a Chapter 13 plan you can use your Chapter 13 plan to make past due mortgage payments, in which event you can stop the foreclosure altogether. Q: Will bankruptcy ruin my credit? A: If you are far behind on your payments to creditors, then your credit rating is already impaired. Bankruptcy will not make it any worse. In fact, filing for bankruptcy can be viewed as the first step in repairing your credit. Once you complete your bankruptcy, if you pay your bills on time, you can restore your credit in a reasonably short period of time. Q: Tell me more about eliminating a second mortgage. A: In the last few years, home values in Massachusetts have dropped. Many homeowners now find themselves in the unfortunate position of owing more money on their mortgages than what their house is worth. In cases where the house is worth less than what you owe on the first mortgage and you also have a second mortgage, we can eliminate the second mortgage in a Chapter 13 proceeding.

You are faced with some very difficult choices. Unfortunately many people make choices that only make their situations worse. The first thing you must do is take a cold hard look at your situation. Write down all of your debts on a piece of paper along with the minimum monthly payments. Then write down your income. Can you make the payments with enough money left over for food, insurance, gasoline, etc.? There is no substitute for writing it all down. Until you do that you will never figure out the best solution.read Full Article.

10 South Shore, MA Q: I am buying a house, what will a real estate attorney do for me? A: We will make sure the contract you sign will protect you.

A: The current real estate market has spawned new rash of foreclosures. Real estate prices are stable or declining. People who were previously able to refinance their way out of trouble are no longer be able to do so. As more foreclosure auctions take place more people will consider bidding for properties at the auctions. Read Full Article Landlord Tenant Questions: Q: I am a residential land lord and my tenant is not paying rent. What do I need to do? A: Massachusetts has extensive laws concerning the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants. Those laws set out specific procedures that must be followed. Any landlord who does not follow the legally mandated procedures is subject to significant penalties. When a tenant does not pay their rent, you should serve them with a fourteen day notice to quit. If at the end of the fourteen day notice period, they haven t paid their rent, and you want to evict them, you must file an eviction proceeding in the District Court or Housing Court. There is no other way or shortcut to evict a tenant. Q: I am a landlord about to rent an apartment to a tenant, should I take a security deposit and do I need to have a written agreement? A: Massachusetts law sets out very specific rules about security deposits. As a landlord, holding a security deposit will give you some protection should your tenant damage the apartment or leave without paying some rent. But it is very important that you learn the rules and follow them. If you collect a security deposit without knowing the rules you will be subject to having to pay significant penalties and ignorance of the law will not protect you. We recommend that you always have your tenant sign a written tenancy agreement which can be a lease or tenant -at-will agreement. Q: I am a tenant and my landlord refuses to repair serious problems in my apartment. What can I do? A: All landlords of residential property are required by law to keep their apartments in a safe and habitable condition. They are prohibited from transferring the obligation to their tenants. If you believe your apartment is in an unsafe or uninhabitable condition (for example you have no heat, there is a rodent infestation, or there is a dangerous condition likely to cause an injury to someone), and your landlord refuses to fix the problem, you can call your city or town building inspector. The inspector will inspect the apartment and issue a citation to the landlord if he or she agrees with you concerning the unsafe or uninhabitable condition. You should also know that it is illegal for a land lord to retaliate against you because you call the building inspector. If the landlord does retaliate against you, you will have the right to obtain money damages against the landlord for violating your rights.
