It's their personal residence in their names, not corporation.
I'm getting a copy of the liens because I bet the judgments are both
corporate and personal.

The corporate debtor has judgment debt where some creditors have recorded
liens against her residence.
She wants the liens removed, but I don't think this can be done is a
corporate chapter 7 since she has no homestead exemption rights here.
Question: Is it possible to avoid a judicial lien (corporate judgment
debt) on a principle residence.....for a corporate debtor?
My guess is no. Your insights are always helpful and instructive.

Corporations do not receive discharges of debts in Chapter 7.
Yes, contracts with the clients are assets of the estate, but it
would be unusual for a trustee to assume the contracts and perform
unless he/she decides to operate the business. Clearly any
accounts receivable for work already performed by the debtor is an
asset of the estate.

A couple of responses:
1. Dissolution is neither here nor there; corporation doesn't get a discharge, but once the case is closed, you can dissolve if it is advantageous, but keep in mind that Trustee might abandon some dubious assets, then you have to decide what to do with them, and someone i.e. a person has to personally sign for any FTB debt in order to get dissolution (is my recollection). So you might want to just let it die.
2. A customer list is property of the estate as are any contract rights; but Trustees rarely find any value in the contracts, or they are not transferrable; maybe someone would like to buy the customer list, but it gets stale quickly when you are out of business, at least in a lot of businesses.
3. No discharge at all for corporation, but the principals may be personally and/or non-dischargeably responsible for payroll and certainly the withheld portion of payroll taxes. And yes, the Labor Commissioner may come after the individuals, depending on the circumstances.

Hello Listmates,
I have a corporation that is being sued and looking to file under chapter 7
and dissolve the corporation.
I have questions concerning assets of the estate:
What happens to the clients? Are they an asset of the estate if there are
contracts?
Is payroll a dischargeable debt? My thought is that their are labor and
employment law issues concerning payroll.
Any thoughts or insights will be helpful. Thank you in advance for your
help.
