Liquidation analysis question
charset="windows-1251"
Respectfully I disagree with Joe. I don't think the Tee gets a commission
on a co-owner's share of the property. See 363(j).

I would think trustee could take commission on the whole thing regardless of
liability on the debt, per the language of 326(a); says fee on all moneys
disbursed or turned over to parties in interest, excluding the debtor. I
think a co-owner would qualify as a party in interest, and trustee would
be turning over the co-owners share of the proceeds to him or her. Only
exclusion is money turned over to the debtor such as in a surplus case or
for a homestead exemption, for example.

In my example, the friend is not on the loan. He is only on title as a joint tenant. I am pulling my hair out trying to do the analysis because different people have different ideas about what is correct.

aren't they both jointly and severally liable on the debt? If so, the
answer is yes.

Does the trustee have the power to take a commission on the non-filing
friend's half? If not, there is no non-exempt equity.

Don't forget Chapter 7 Trustee's fees per Section 330--in your example, maximum trustee's fees would be $29,500. Maximum Trustee fees per Section 330:
25% of first $5,000
10% of amount over $5,000 up to $50,000
5% of amount over $50,000 up to $1,000,000
3% of amount over $1,000,000

I think it depends on the type of lien: IRS, Judgment, mortgage...
Also, at the last NACBA they told us: 1)In a Chapter 13 liquidation analysis you can make a 10%-20%deduction dueto thedistressed nature of thesale and 2) Deduct the capital gains tax, if any, the debtor would have to pay.
I have a worksheet from NACBA for a Chapter 13 liquidation analysis if anyone wants it.

In doing the liquidation analysis, would the debtor only have to pay into the plan (at minimum) the remaining equity in a home AFTER deducting liens, cost of sale, homestead, and nondebtor's interest?
For example, Debtor owns his home with another person (not his spouse):
Value: $525K
COS 8% ($42K)
lien ($241K)
less ($121K) Nondebtor's 1/2 of the equity
less ($100K) homestead (joint filing)
In this scenario, if Debtor does a Chapter 13, their minimum payment into the plan over time would be $21K?
Is this the correct way to do the liquidation analysis?
