Chapter 13 reorganization plans in Missouri sometimes require court approval to sell real estate. The proceeds typically apply to your repayment plan.

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.
Missouri's homestead exemption protects a portion of your primary residence equity from creditors in bankruptcy. The exemption amount varies by state. If your St. Peters 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 Missouri attorney calculates the impact.
Reaffirmation agreements in Missouri Chapter 7 let debtors keep specific debts (typically vehicles, sometimes mortgages) excluded from discharge.
