I am 20 months into a chapter 13 filing. My husband recently died and now my income has been cut in half. I will be receiving life insurance benefits. Can I payoff early without losing all of my benefits? Or will the courts take it all and payoff the filed debts in full? My debt to income ration is now twice what it was, but the lump sum I will be getting would make up for my husbands income for the rest of my filing if it stayed the way it's set. Can I keep the court from taking it all? I'm afraid I would not be able to afford my mortgage if they do. After losing my husband, I do not want to lose my home as well.
