Can someone file for bankruptcy when they are 78 years old and own their house?

My step-father in-law is in debt with a 2nd mortgage on his home and credit card debt totaling about 0,000. His wife just passed away a few months back. He is 78 years old and is not to handle all of this with creditors arousing him. He has someone wanting to buy his home, but i am afraid he will be left out in the cold. I need some legal free advice.

    Yes he can file for bankruptcy protection.

    We need much more information to know whether or not that is the best approach for him to take, however.

    I recommend that he interview at least 3 or 4 Attorneys who have a great deal of experience with Real Estate Law.

    Many Attorneys will talk to you for 20 or 30 minutes at no charge to see if you have a case that they want to take.

    In the process you can get a good idea of which legal remedies are best for you to pursue.

    In the end I recommend that you hire the Attorney that you think is best for your case.

    After you have interviewed at least 3 or 4 Attorneys you will have a very good idea of the best path for you to follow and you will have a good idea which Attorney is best for you and your case.
