FAQs
Are all my debts discharged in bankruptcy?
Certain debts are not discharged. Tax debts, student loans and domestic support obligations are the most common exceptions. These debts survive the bankruptcy.
Can bankruptcy help me save my house from foreclosure?
When you file a bankruptcy, the law imposes an automatic delay on legal proceedings, including foreclosures, but this may be good only for a limited time. To save your house, you must file a Chapter 13, which will propose to repay the money you owe to your mortgage company over the length of your bankruptcy, which is 36 to 60 months. You will also have to make your regular monthly payments during this time. If you make all your payments, you will emerge from bankruptcy current on your mortgage.
What about my taxes and my tax refund?
Generally, while your case is open, your tax refunds can be taken by the trustee and distributed to your creditors. In some cases, the trustee decides it is not worth his trouble, and returns the refund to the debtor.
How long does bankruptcy take?
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy lasts no less than 36 months and no longer than 60 months. A Chapter 7 case is usually over in about four months. There can be exceptions.
Is bankruptcy the moral thing for me to do?
Most of my clients are reluctant to file bankruptcy. But overwhelming debt can crush a person. The bankruptcy laws were created to give a person a fresh start. The Founding Fathers felt so strongly about this that in the Constitution they authorized Congress to enact uniform laws on bankruptcy throughout the United States.

The loss of a loved one is a trying time. The struggle of the loss is compounded by confusion about correctly addressing their assets and wishes. Reach out to get help to ensure the succession is done right. Louisiana has unique laws when it comes to managing a decedent’s property. Most states refer to the process as Probate and the property as the Estate. Here, the courts refer to the process as a Succession. This is one of many language difference that starts creating confusion. Regardless of the differences, the process generates the same results. The goal is to honor your loved one’s wishes and to efficiently manage the assets within the succession.
