We've closed on properties in active bankruptcy with court approval.
Bankruptcy in Nevada runs on two main tracks: Chapter 7 (liquidation, typically 4-6 months) and Chapter 13 (reorganization, 3-5 years). Washoe homeowners considering bankruptcy with significant home equity should consult a Washoe County bankruptcy attorney before filing; the home's treatment varies dramatically by chapter and by Nevada's homestead exemption.
Joint-debtor situations in Nevada bankruptcy (typically spouses) require both signatures on any property sale during the case. Washoe married debtors who file separately face complications.

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