I have been in Chapter 13 now for 3yrs and would like ot sell my home. I have contacted my attorney twice regarding it and all I can get from him is that he wouldn't advise it. I know with the new bankruptcy laws that take affect in Sept, we won't be able to make any changes after that. Can I petition the trustee myself, or must it go thru our attorney? Will they take all the extra money over what we owe on the home? I am guessing we could make about $30,000 over what we owe if we could sell our home and that would be more than enough to pay off the other debts that were included. Can I visit another attorney to take over?

How long was your original plan for?
You can sell your house, but you have to get permission from the court and trustee and you can do it yourself, but its generally not advisable. -
Thanks so much for responding.
Our plan is for 5 years. The area we live in is about 4 blocks from a major retailers corporate headquarters, and the land around us has been quickly changing over to business development. Today we were approached by a deveolper to trade our home straight across for a home in a neighboring town that is more than double our current homes square footage. But the past two times I have questioned our attorney about selling our home,all I can get from him is that he wouldn't advise it.Comment
