Yes. All you need to do is apply to your bankruptcy trustee for approval to go. You’ll get it, that being said there is a one-page application you need to complete simply to advise the trustee of how long you will be travelling, etc. This policy only truly exists so high flyers don’t skip the country. At times the trustee will request your passport, but don’t worry about it considering that you can ask for it back when you want to travel. The big aspect of this is ensuring that you actually ask– because if you overlook this then you can actually get in a ton of trouble.

In many cases the answer is yes! In fact, in many cases these days we can help you keep your home. At Bankruptcy Experts Albury we are experts at helping people keep their homes. It’s actually really tricky, so if you are worried about losing your home call us on 1300 818 575 and we will walk you through your choices.

The thought of losing the family home is quite possibly the most common deterrent to people declaring bankruptcy. We talk with people daily who have wrestled for a long time under serious financial strain so they don’t lose their home.

So how is it likely when declaring bankruptcy to keep your house? Easy, really; it’s a matter of equity. Let’s put it like this, if you own a home that’s worth $350,000 and you owe the bank $350,000 you essentially have no equity in your house, correct? The trustee will only sell your house if there is definitely enough equity in the home, if sold, to repay a lot of your debts. So for this particular scenario, the trustee will then offer you some options, one of which is to merely to go on paying the mortgage and live in the house while you are actually bankrupt.

So how can I discover the value of my home before I look at the process and pain of declaring bankruptcy? A general way is generally to go onto www.realestate.com.au and take a look at the sold properties tab in the Albury area and then it will display all the more recent sales in your region. Another possibility, if you are not sure or are very fearful, is to have a registered valuer do a valuation on your home, not a real estate agent ( except if they are registered valuers, obviously). Be warned this will cost you anywhere between $300-700. Just another thing about house prices – If the trustee needs to sell off your house they do this moderately promptly. It is usually not a 6-month shiny marketing project and instead it’s generally by auction and they just meet the market on the day and that is probably it. So when thinking about the value keep in mind that it’s a sell right now price, not when the market improves.

Once you have calculated the market value of your home the next thing to consider is who owns your home.

Generally when our clients are declaring bankruptcy most home loans are between a couple of individuals as joint tenants who both add to the home loan. Granted that only one party is declaring bankruptcy then the equity is worked out like this.
Say your house is worth $400,000 and the latest market value is $350,000. Then the balance of equity in the house is $50,000, right? Half of that overall equity is automatically allocated to the person not declaring bankruptcy, leaving $25,000 for the bankrupt. From this $25,000 the declaring bankruptcy party has to cover all of the selling costs including advertising etc.,

which, depending upon precisely where you live, can cost anywhere between $12,000-20 ,000. With this particular case say the sales expenses are going to be $15,000 then the remaining left over after the sale is $10,000. So in this case the trustee will provide the non-declaring bankruptcy party a few options. One of which is common is for the bank to say, “Pay us the $10,000 and we will not sell your home and you will have it removed as an asset from the bankrupt’s estate.” Or, in other words, work out a deal to pay the $10,000 and you can keep your house.

Just a side note: the financial institution who has brought you the property loan will need the repayments to be continued naturally. No matter what the trustee decides, if you do not pay the bank the property loan these guys will eventually ask you to leave. So, in plain English, keeping your home certainly implies continuing the mortgage too.
There are many more alternatives with your house when declaring bankruptcy, and we have just detailed one choice of potentially 20 options you can select when it involves your house. We are aware that you will need to get this right. Taking a chance with the family home can be a devastating choice.

Initially, having your personal bankruptcy annulled is virtually reversing it 100%. So if you are really contemplating having your bankruptcy annulled there are a handful of things you need to know.
Firstly, exactly how does the annulment work? A easy way to understand it is this – let’s say someone owes you $50,000 and they have not paid you one cent back for years. Then to make things worse you learn that they are declaring bankruptcy. You would kiss that money goodbye, right? Years go by and they come to you with an offer to pay you $5,000 that their grandparents are offering to them to work out your debt with them. Most certainly you are thrilled to take it, because it is far better than nothing. The only condition they ask for in return is that you agree to have the bankruptcy cleaned from their record, and if you don’t consent to do that then there will be no $5,000. Obviously you do not care about their credit file; you are just thrilled they are offering you some money after all these years.
In bankruptcy terms this technique is usually called a Section 73 proposal, and it is definitely an approach where ‘everybody wins.’
Essentially, the trustee reaches out to your creditors, shows your offer, which is drastically less than the original debt owed, on the condition they clear your credit file clean.
This process takes a few weeks. The proposal can be done at any time in the 3 years you are bankrupt. However, you have to consider the time of your proposal; you don’t want to do it the day you are declaring bankruptcy because it does cost money to carry this out, you want to ensure the odds are on your side. For example, if you are repaying money to the trustee each week because you earn over the threshold amount, then your creditors will know they are going to get a certain amount from you over the 3 years anyway so it better be greater than it will add up to.
similarly, If you have merely been bankrupt three weeks it will definitely be harder to get an annulment because they may get some cash from you over the 3 years if you earn over the threshold sum of money.
If you need help to put a section 73 proposal to your trustee or simply just need more information about the timing of when to put an offer forward, just phone us on 1300 818 575.
