I received a phone call from someone who had recently filed a bankruptcy case by herself. She had read all of the information she could find regarding the bankruptcy process and filing bankruptcy without using a lawyer,

She had prepared the bankruptcy petition, schedules and statements to the best of her ability. She was calling me now after she had received a phone call from an assistant for the bankruptcy trustee who had been assigned to her case – and the questions the assistant asked her was making her nervous. She was looking for help.

A trust is an estate planning tool. Trusts can allow individuals to protect assets, avoid taxes, avoid probate and ensure that the grantor’s assets are distributed according to the grantor’s specifications.

Once a trust is created, it needs to funded. This means that the grantor, the person with the assets, needs to move assets into the trust. If the asset is real estate, the deed to the property needs to be re-deeded in the name of the trust, if the asset is a bank account, the funds need to be moved into an account titled in the name of the trust.

Since this pandemic has begun, it has changed our day-to-day lives in major ways. It has also drastically affected the court buildings and court systems throughout the nation. As part of the Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy process, there is a hearing with a trustee, referred to as a 341 meeting of creditors. This is a hearing where creditors have an opportunity to ask questions on the record regarding the debtor—it is very common for creditors to not appear though.

Debt is a common threat that plagues businesses and individuals alike. Sometimes, the last resort is to consider bankruptcy. Do not worry, there are personal and business related bankruptcy options for you! But first, let’s discuss the basics of business entities and debtors.

In March of this year, Congress passed the CARES Act as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak. As you may already know, included in the CARES Act were stimulus checks to individuals and families that qualified based on certain income limitations. Qualified individuals received up to $1,200 each plus $500 per child. Many Kain & Scott clients worried that their creditors would be able to levy the stimulus checks before they received the money. Mostly, clients worried about the IRS or Minnesota Revenue taking the funds to pay for any tax debt they may have. The good news is that Congress made sure to protect the stimulus checks from most creditors, including all tax agencies. That means, not even the IRS could take a stimulus check from someone.

The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA) includes a means test set forth primarily in subsection 707(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Code provides that a case may be dismissed if "the granting of relief would be an abuse of the provisions of this chapter." The formula for determining whether a presumption of abuse exists is called the means test.
