Motions for Relief from Stay

Debtors facing foreclosure may file for bankruptcy in an effort to protect personal or business property. Often, as the case with motor vehicles, the debtor will be required to turnover the property to the creditor, as they have no equity in the property and it is of no value to the bankruptcy estate. Nonetheless, the creditor still must have permission of the court to recover the vehicle and must file for relief from the automatic stay.

Our attorneys will quickly file for relief and obtain the court's permission, enabling creditors to efficiently recover and sell as soon as possible their rapidly depreciating security interest. Property is typically returned to creditors, if the debtor does not have equity in it or it is uninsured. Alternatively, in cases where the "equity cushion" - the difference between the value of the property and the claim of a creditor on it - is minimal, a debtor may be required to make payments in order to avoid foreclosure.

At Rosenberg, Musso & Weiner, we counsel and represent parties in actions involving adversary proceedings involving home, personal and business properties. We prepare and file all necessary paperwork, providing documentation for the court regarding a property's status, it's value, and the claims against it.
