Selling a House While in Chapter 13 in Connecticut
A Chapter 13 plan protects your house, but sometimes selling makes more sense. Here is how that usually works and how CT MAX closes with the trustee involved.

Start with the address. A CT MAX buyer calls you back, and your written number follows the walk-through.
What changes in Chapter 13
While you are in a Chapter 13 plan, selling property generally requires permission from the bankruptcy court. Your bankruptcy attorney files a motion to sell, and the trustee and creditors get a chance to respond. The order says how the sale money is paid out.
When selling makes sense
- Plan payments are no longer affordable.
- The house has equity that could pay off the plan early.
- You are moving for work or family.
Where CT MAX fits
The motion to sell usually needs a signed contract. A written MAX Offer gives your attorney a clean, as-is contract with no financing contingency, and we close once the court approves.
Common questions
Do I need my bankruptcy attorney’s OK first?
Yes. Talk to them before signing anything.
How long does court approval take?
Often several weeks, depending on the court calendar.
What about Chapter 7?
Different rules. The trustee controls the property. Ask your attorney.
