WE MAKE THE LAW WORK FOR YOU

In a short sale, the property owner gives up ownership of a property, and in turn, the lender agrees to forgive the mortgage debt. Forgiven debt can be considered taxable income in some situations. For a property owner facing financial difficulty, doing a short sale can compound the problem.

If you find yourself in this situation, it may better to consider other debt relief solutions such as Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In Chapter 7, you can get the property and its mortgage debt (including junior mortgages) off your hands without incurring any tax liabilities. You can also obtain a complete discharge of many unsecured debts in just a few months.

Los Angeles bankruptcy lawyer Giovanni Orantes has extensive experience in Chapter 7 and other types of bankruptcy proceedings. When you retain our firm, Mr. Orantes will develop the optimal debt relief plan for you.
