Question
Can I sell my home in a chapter 13 bankruptcy?
I have been in a chapter 13 bankruptcy for about a year and a half. I want to sell my home. I understand that I have to file a motion in order to do so. Do I have to turn to the attorney who originally handled my bankruptcy to file the order, or can I have a new attorney do it?LawQA.com Answer Library

You can have a new attorney do it if you fire your previous attorney and hire a new one. It's a relatively simple procedure. To discuss further, please contact us.
