How can I get a lien removed from my home title?

The bankruptcy code allows a debtor to "avoid" a judgment lien to the extent that the judgment impairs an exemption allowed by state or federal law.  For example, assume your home is worth $100,000 and the mortgage debt is $90,000.  Under Georgia law, you could claim the remaining $10,000 (the equity) in your home as exempt.  If the judgment lien impairs that exemption, the bankruptcy court can issue an order avoiding the lien. If your attorney did not file a motion to avoid the judgment lien while your case was open, you may be able to reopen your case in order to file the necessary motion.  Consult with a reputable bankruptcy attorney in your area.  The attorney can review what was done and advise you whether reopening is possible.  Of course, there would be court costs and attorney fees to pay, and it's possible that the Court would decline to reopen the case.  Discuss all of this with your attorney before proceeding.  MORGAN & MORGAN ATTORNEYS AT LAW, P.C.
