We've closed on properties in active bankruptcy with court approval.
Means test calculations in Colorado Chapter 7 use Boulder County median income. Longmont debtors above the median must pass detailed expense analysis to qualify. Failing the means test forces Chapter 13. Selling the home for cash can affect means-test calculations by adding to the income side; counsel input is essential.
Bankruptcy in Colorado runs on two main tracks: Chapter 7 (liquidation, typically 4-6 months) and Chapter 13 (reorganization, 3-5 years). Longmont homeowners considering bankruptcy with significant home equity should consult a Boulder County bankruptcy attorney before filing; the home's treatment varies dramatically by chapter and by Colorado's homestead exemption.
Automatic stay under Colorado bankruptcy law pauses most creditor actions including foreclosure. Longmont homeowners filing pre-foreclosure typically buy 30-60 days of breathing room. The stay can be lifted on motion; selling the home eliminates the need for ongoing stay protection.
Joint-debtor situations in Colorado bankruptcy (typically spouses) require both signatures on any property sale during the case. Longmont married debtors who file separately face complications when only one signs the sale. Boulder County trustees can compel non-filer spouse cooperation under specific conditions.
No obligation. We close at a Boulder County title company.

Colorado's homestead exemption protects a portion of your primary residence equity from creditors in bankruptcy. The exemption amount varies by state.
