hello everyone… i filed chapter 13 bankruptcy and have found now that my property is worth more than my first mortgage. in such a case will i be able to wipe off my second mortgage?
Hi Sail,
Yes, the option of lien stripping is applicable in case of Chapter 13 only when you donhave the required equity in your property to pay off the mortgages. As your property value is more than the 1st mortgage that you owe on it, the property may be sold off to pay off your first mortgage and part of your second mortgage.
Thanks

You can consult with your attorney regarding the prevalent property exemption law in your state of residence.
