Lien Stripping
Gainesville Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney
Many homeowners in the state of Florida have seen the value of their homes decline since the recession began in 2008. When the value of a home sinks below what is owed on the mortgage and when homeowners find themselves having difficulty keeping up on those mortgages, many questions arise.
A homeowner in this position may be facing a potential foreclosure and may need to decide whether to allow his home to go into foreclosure or try to get his current loan modified through the lender. If you are facing this problem in Gainesville or the surrounding areas, you should get professional legal help to determine your best course of action.
If you currently owe more on your home than its present value and have a second or even a third mortgage, you may be able to address this problem through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Through this type of bankruptcy petition, you may be able to have the second or third mortgage eliminated by the bankruptcy court; the court would discharge these liens as unsecured debt, similar to credit card debt. This might be one way to save your home while reducing your debt load through the legal action of Chapter 13 bankruptcy law.
