Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Michigan

Re: bankruptcy

Social Security is typically exempt from garnishment, the funds of the pension would be exempt, however pension payments she receives as income may be subject to garnishment although I typically do not see garnishments on pensions. However, with her ownership interest on your house, there would be the possibility of creditors filing liens on your house. A bankruptcy would prevent that from happening. But before she goes and file bankruptcy she needs to make sure there is not too much equity in the house. I would be happy to speak with you about what the best thing to do in your mother's situation.
