Question:

We are facing a foreclosure, and we've decided that we want to keep the house, but bankruptcy is our only option. We've only got a few days until the sherriffs sale so we need to act quickly. What's the fastest way to file for bankruptcy?

Answer:

You can get a bankruptcy lawyer to file an emergency bankruptcy petition, but you should only do so if it is absolutely necessary. Having time to plan for a bankruptcy case is critical, so try to give yourself and your attorney a few days at least to prepare the case, plan your exemptions and complete the petition.

Talk to a Bankruptcy Lawyer now to find out if an emergency petition is necessary, or if you have sufficient time to file a regular petition and create a legal plan to protect your house and your other assets while eliminating your debts.
