Keeping Your Home in Bankruptcy
If you’re behind on your mortgage payments, your bank may be threatening you with foreclosure. In fact, they may have already scheduled a foreclosure sale. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Tennessee is the one step you can take that can put a stop to any pending foreclosure sale.
Once you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will pay your regular monthly mortgage payments through your Chapter 13 bankruptcy payment plan. In addition, the arrears (your late or missed payments) will be caught up to date.
As long as you comply with the payment plan, your lender cannot foreclose on your house. Chapter 13 may also give you leverage to negotiate more affordable payments with your mortgage lender. This can be particularly helpful for people with balloon payments.
Since 1981, the experienced foreclosure lawyers at Flexer Law have been serving residents in Nashville and the greater Middle Tennessee region. With our understanding of the protections offered by Chapter 13 bankruptcy, we have helped thousands of people eliminate debt while saving their homes from foreclosure.

Stopping Foreclosure with Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Planning for the Chapter 7 Homestead Exemption
Even if you are not currently behind on your mortgage, filing bankruptcy may help you keep your house by discharging other debts such as credit cards and medical bills so that they do not interfere with your ability to make your future mortgage payments. This can be done by taking advantage of the Tennessee homestead exemptions provided by Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The Tennessee homestead exemption allows people to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy and keep their homes as long as they do not have too much home equity.
Our experienced foreclosure attorneys will use exemption planning to help you keep your home. Exemptions are laws that allow you to keep certain amounts and types of property even though you filed for bankruptcy.
