Can You Keep Your House in a Florida Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 13 is designed to restructure debt, giving you an organized approach to repaying creditors. To qualify for Chapter 13, you must have a regular income and be below the secured and unsecured debt thresholds. If your home equity does not exceed the bankruptcy homestead exemption, then you will be able to keep your home.

What Happens to Credit Card Debt After Death in Florida?
When a person dies with credit card debt, family members often think they are personally responsible for the balance. Under most circumstances, the estate will typically settle this debt. Being an unsecured debt, credit cards are often a low priority when probating an estate. In some cases, the debt will not get repaid.

Can Bankruptcy Stop a Foreclosure in Florida?

If you are filing for bankruptcy, you may feel overwhelmed by the thought of losing your home. Bankruptcy is a serious matter that will dictate your financial future. Although an automatic stay will be triggered upon filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, that is not a permanent solution. In some cases, creditors can ask the court for permission to proceed with debt collection.

What Is the Florida Means Test and How Does It Work?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Florida is a liquidation process that can resolve your unsecured debts relatively quickly by selling down non-exempt assets. Generally, equity in your home is exempt, and up to a specific amount of equity in your car is exempt. Your other assets will be liquidated, and the proceeds will be distributed to your creditors according to legal priority.

Can Creditors Make Claims Against an Estate During Probate in Florida?

Yes. In Florida, creditors can file claims against a person’s estate during probate, and valid debts must usually be paid before beneficiaries receive distributions. The law sets strict timelines and procedures for these claims. In areas like West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami, estates typically include mortgages, medical bills, credit card debt, or business obligations. Understanding how creditor claims work can help you prevent costly mistakes.

Can a Personal Representative be Paid for Their Services in Florida?

Yes. In Florida, personal representatives are usually paid for their work administering an estate. The law provides a fee structure that is presumptive reasonable compensation, but courts can adjust it upward or downward as seen fit, given the circumstances. The payment typically comes from estate assets, not from beneficiaries personally. At Brian K. McMahon, P.A., our probate lawyer in South Florida can help you understand how these fees work and how they affect estate distributions.
