We've closed on properties in active bankruptcy with court approval.
Bankruptcy in Nebraska runs on two main tracks: Chapter 7 (liquidation, typically 4-6 months) and Chapter 13 (reorganization, 3-5 years). Omaha homeowners considering bankruptcy with significant home equity should consult a Douglas County bankruptcy attorney before filing; the home's treatment varies dramatically by chapter and by Nebraska's homestead exemption.

The automatic stay in bankruptcy stops most actions against your property. To sell, your attorney files a Motion for Authorization to Sell — the court lifts the stay for the specific transaction.

Nebraska's homestead exemption protects a portion of your primary residence equity from creditors in bankruptcy. The exemption amount varies by state.
