Bankruptcy

Use, Sale, or Lease of Property
The Bankruptcy Code governs the use, sale, or lease of property in bankruptcy. The trustee may use, sell, or lease the property of the estate other than in the ordinary course of business only after notice and a hearing. If the business of the debtor is authorized to be operated under Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Chapter 12, or Chapter 13, the trustee or debtor-in-possession may, without notice or hearing, use, sell, or lease property of the estate in the ordinary course of business.

Conversion and Dismissal of a Chapter 12 Case
Chapter 12 specifically provides that a debtor may voluntarily convert a Chapter 12 bankruptcy case to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or dismiss the case at any time.

IRA Protection in Bankruptcy
Social Security benefits, company pensions, and 401(k) plans are all shielded by law and are, therefore, not lost to creditors in bankruptcy. Whether that same protection extends to an individual retirement account (IRA) is not clear. The bankruptcy law, which was drafted in the 1970's before IRAs became such an important vehicle for retirement savings, is ambiguous. This has led to contradictory rulings in federal courts around the country. More...
Dischargeability of Taxes in Bankruptcy
Debtors may be able to discharge some or all of their older income tax obligations in bankruptcy. Dischargeability of these taxes turns on the question whether or not they are "priority" claims. Tax obligations that are non-priority are dischargeable. More...
Administrative Claims
Administrative expense claims in bankruptcy cases are entitled to first priority ahead of all other general unsecured claims and, therefore, they are paid in full before all other unsecured claims to the extent there are available unencumbered funds in the debtor's bankruptcy estate. Administrative expense claims are given first priority status in bankruptcy to induce parties to do business with the debtor's bankruptcy estate. More...
