Stop Home Foreclosure Nevada

Filing for bankruptcy can be an effective way to stop foreclosure and potentially keep your house. In Nevada, the two main types of bankruptcy that might help are:
- Chapter * Bankruptcy:
- Temporarily halts foreclosure through an automatic stay.
- Discharges certain debts but may not be ideal for keeping your home long-term.
- Chapter * Bankruptcy:
- Allows you to keep your home and catch up on missed payments through a repayment plan over *-5 years.
- Stops foreclosure immediately upon filing.
