Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in District of Columbia
Bankruptcy and Tax Lien Foreclosure
I purchased a tax lien certificate. The owner has failed to pay her taxes so I am in the process of starting the foreclosure process. No serious clouds are on the title. If the owner filed for bankruptcy almost 8 years ago, will my request for foreclosure on the real property be automatically denied? The tax lien certificate is not on a primary residence, but on a boarded property.

Re: Bankruptcy and Tax Lien Foreclosure
I agree, if the bankruptcy is no longer pending (and it is unlikely that it is if it was filed 8 years ago) and the taxes on which your certificate are based were not somehow discharged in the bankruptcy, you should have no problems.
Good luck with obtaining the property. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

As long as the bankruptcy is not still pending, it should have no effect.
