Question:

 

Can one go bankrupt and keep the house? What if the mortgage is in the arrears? If the mortgage is in both the husband and wife name, do both have to go bankrupt to avoid collections? Can you declare just unsecured creditors, and not secured, i.e car loans?

Pleae contact our office or, if you are not in Alberta, a Trustee in your area of residence to discuss your situation and options.
