Quick question here. As hubby and I make our way through Chapter 13, we've noticed how often necessary expenses and mini emergencies come up. Recently, a neighbor has asked if we are willing to split the expense of a new fence going down one side of our property. Not a necessity, but the old one is dangerous and an accident waiting to happen.
We don't have the money for this right now, but my father-in-law offered to lend us the money (about $500) to get it done. We will not deposit the money in the account, but rather it will go right from my father-in-law to the hands of the contractor.
Does this look fishy to the trustee? Do you think we would be questioned on this? I'm super paranoid and just want to play by all of the right rules! I assume it's unlikely, but I don't know if they keep up with such "improvements" to the home.
