- Q. In NH if husband and wife are joint owners and the husband dies. How does the wife get sole ownership?
- A: If your Deed is titled Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship, the property passes automatically by operation of law.
- Q. Can my car's title holder still repossess my vehicle if I've filed for bankruptcy?
- A: If you file a Chapter 7 that will slow the process of repossession down because there is an automatic stay imposed which prevents creditors from collecting and in your case repossessing the vehicle temporarily. However, the lender will likely file a Motion to Lift the Automatic Stay and unless you object and can work out a deal with the lender to get caught up on the payments the automatic stay will be lifted and they can repossess the vehicle. If you file a Chapter 13 and put your arrears in a payment plan and continue to follow the plan and make all the payments you can keep your car.
