As long as the deceased is the sole person responsible for the credit card, the credit card debt falls on the estate to be paid through assets after going through probate. The remainder of the assets are then distributed according to the deceased’s will or state law if no will was written. If there is [...]

I talked a little bit about small business bankruptcy in a previous blog–Bankruptcy for the small business owner. Today I want to stress the importance of seeking professional guidance as soon as financial difficulties arise. Small businesses often struggle to compete with corporate businesses or other small businesses in the same region. When your business [...]

Ben Affleck, a native of our own California, recently starred in The Company Men, alongside Tommy Lee Jones, Chris Cooper, and Kevin Costner. The film tells the stories of three men named Bobby Walker (Ben Affleck), Gene McClary (Tommy Lee Jones), and Phil Woodward (Chris Cooper) who are businessmen at the GTX Corporation but lose [...]

At this meeting, you and your attorney discuss your financial situation with the bankruptcy trustee assigned to your case. [...]

A while back there was an article in a Sapurstein & Associates newsletter about a tax ruling concerning the tax deduction for a mortgage that centered around a couple and their son. After filing for bankruptcy some months prior, the couple was looking to take out a mortgage but didn’t qualify due to their credit. [...]

A big concern I hear from my clients when they come in for a free consultation is who will know that they have filed bankruptcy. Truthfully, there are only a limited number of people who may be notified when you file bankruptcy. Creditors will be made aware of the fact that you have filed bankruptcy. [...]
