Factors to Consider When Thinking About Filing for Personal Bankruptcy

Before you file for bankruptcy, it's a good idea to take stock of your finances and make sure you have enough cash to make ends meet. Start by reducing expenses and selling your unwanted items. You may also want to consider borrowing from friends or family to pay your monthly bills. But avoid opening new credit accounts; this will complicate the process. Also, do not take on a second job, as it could be considered fraudulent. In addition, you should consider hiring a bankruptcy attorney. Many attorneys provide free initial consultations.

Can long-distance relatives have a claim to an inheritance?

Image
  Jan Meriss Alfonso Assistant at  Parklin Law You may be too young to remember this, but there was a time when long-distance relationships were a lot more difficult to maintain. Before the days of cell phones and email, your options were limited. And let's be honest: If a person is truly in love with you, are they really going to care about the few extra hours it takes to send a letter over the weekend? Inheritance The answer seems pretty obvious: Of course, long-distance relatives have a claim on an inheritance. As long as they're related to you, they deserve their slice of whatever you leave behind! The law When you've got distant relatives, it's natural to want to keep in touch with them and maybe even invite them to family events like weddings or funerals. But if you're the inheritor of a large estate, you might have a problem if certain long-distance relatives try to lay claim to your inheritance.

There are Travel-Limited divorces and Domestic Relations Injunctions. In addition, if you have children, you may be able to travel with them. Travel-limited divorces When traveling abroad, it's important to comply with all the requirements of the divorce decree. The decree should specify whether you're allowed to travel internationally and what you'll need to do before you leave. If the divorce decree does not specify the travel rules, you'll need to request court permission in advance.

Whether you’ve recently lost your job, had a major medical emergency, or run up too many bills, filing for bankruptcy may be the solution you need. Although it may seem like a daunting task, there are many advantages to filing for bankruptcy. In addition to the financial benefits, bankruptcy can also give you a fresh start.

The bankruptcy law is designed to give you the best possible start, but it’s important to keep in mind that you are still responsible for your debts. You’ll have to pay the bills and you’ll have to make sure your accounts are up-to-date. While bankruptcy can give you a fresh start, it do...
