Written by Don Lassman and Dan Austin, this handbook addresses what to expect under BAPCPA when consumer debtors agree to reaffirm their debts. The necessity, timing and content of reaffirmation agreements are governed by various Bankruptcy Code provisions and by applicable nonbankruptcy law, which may vary from state to state. Since BAPCPA?s implementation, the process for reaffirmations has changed. Reaffirmation Agreements in Consumer Bankruptcy Cases details the relevant Code sections dealing with reaffirmations and provides guidance for both debtor and practitioner. Softbound. January 2009 release.
