How can you lose your home?

If you are forced into bankruptcy due to an unpaid credit card debt then you risk losing your home – it is that simple! Your Trustee in Bankruptcy will take steps to sell your house if you have equity in it.

How can you save your home?

The most likely outcome is that you will lose your home if you become bankrupt. If you own a home and you wish to file for bankruptcy you may be able to sell the house to your spouse (as long as your interest in the house is sold for proper market value). Do not sell your home or any other property without first obtaining independent legal advice and a market valuation for your home. Selling your house at a value which is below market can be “attacked” and “overturned” by a Trustee in Bankruptcy.

If your spouse cannot raise the funds to purchase the equity in the home then you may wish to consider a Debt Agreement or a Personal Insolvency Agreement.

If you enter into either agreement, you will be able to keep your home.
