Foreclosure and Bankruptcy Overview
A San Jose bankruptcy attorney has a Foreclosure and Bankruptcy Overview:
Purchasing a house can be an exciting and life-changing event. On the other spectrum, going into default and foreclosure can be just as scaring and depressing. The easiest and quickest way to stop foreclosure in San Jose is to file for bankruptcy. The automatic stay of bankruptcy will stop foreclosure for the time being. This will allow the individual some time to either find a new place to live, or come current on the arrears. Often times, when a person files bankruptcy to stop foreclosure and save their house, they file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will stop the foreclosure and generally allow a person to pay the arrears over a period of five (5) years so long as they are current on the mortgage payments following the filing of bankruptcy. This period of time following the filing of bankruptcy allows the individual to wrap up their financial affairs and look to the future without the stress of the looming foreclosure.
