Common questions

Can I sell my house during bankruptcy in Charlotte?

Yes, but you must get court approval from the bankruptcy trustee first. In Chapter 7, the trustee may sell the home. In Chapter 13, you can petition the court for permission to sell while continuing your repayment plan.

What is the NC homestead exemption for bankruptcy?

North Carolina allows a homestead exemption of $35,000 (or $60,000 if you are 65 or older). This means that amount of equity in your primary residence is protected from creditors in bankruptcy.

How does a cash offer work with bankruptcy court approval in Charlotte?

A cash buyer can submit a formal offer to the bankruptcy court. Because cash offers close faster and with fewer contingencies, courts often approve them more readily than financed offers.
