The automatic stay in bankruptcy stops most actions against your property. To sell, your attorney files a Motion for Authorization to Sell — the court lifts the stay for the specific transaction. BuyHousesInCash' offer becomes part of that motion. The stay protection continues for everything else; only the approved sale is permitted.
Arizona's homestead exemption protects a portion of your primary residence equity from creditors in bankruptcy. The exemption amount varies by state. If your Phoenix home equity falls within the exemption, you may sell and keep proceeds. If equity exceeds the exemption, the difference goes to the bankruptcy estate. Your Arizona attorney calculates the impact.
Possibly. Sale proceeds become bankruptcy estate property; trustee handles disbursement. Consult your Maricopa County bankruptcy attorney before signing.
Depends on the Arizona homestead exemption, your specific equity, and your bankruptcy chapter. Talk to a Maricopa County bankruptcy attorney first.
