agreement not to file bk for 120 days; enforceable?

Not enforceable. Clear insiders. Should have been a secured loan to
avoid these issues. If there is equity in the property and pc wants
to sell then should file prior to selling property so can take
advantage of the homestead exemption and then sell after case is
closed or after home is abandoned back to her by trustee if earlier.
That way the 6 month recapture rule will not be applicable.

Hi all,
Potential client(PC) is mother; she put daughter and son-in-law on
title of her house 2yrs ago; PC on fixed income and having financial
difficulties (I believe mostly credit card) and will be coming in for
consult. Son-in-law advanced $$ for repairs--he claims 49k, but PC
doesn't believe it was that much. House is now on market and
son-in-law wants PC to sign doc stating that he will get 49k off the
top; proceeds to be divided and then PC agrees not to file bk for 120
days.
Will get more info when she comes in--she may only need assist in
debt reduction (will have her call Debbie Tyrell, David Tilem's
referral--if this is the case), but my initial question is whether an
agmt not to file bk is enforceable? I imagine that the kids, by
including such a clause, are probably trying to get around a
preference issue--maybe not knowing that they are insiders anyway.
Any initial thoughts about this?
Thanks,
--
