Re: Property Seizure

Probably not. If you recorded a Homestead Declaration when you bought the house, that PROBABLY protects it. The timing and sequence of events is important, so I can only say >probably< because I don't know those facts. Ultimately, however, if you file a bankruptcy case, the house could be protected AND you could get rid of the credit card bills. If you want more information, call me or email me.
