- With the California real-estate market going down the toilet,
- I'm getting concerned about what might happen to my assets other than my
- house. My home equity has already evaporated(i.e. the 30K I used to buy
- out my partner, my 24K down payment and 10K of out of pocket expenses I
- used to fix the place up now translates into 10K of equity). What I'm
- now concerned about is whether my other assets can be attached in the event
- that I can no longer meet my mortgage payments. My largest remaining assets
- are in a money-purchase pension plan.
-
-
- Now, what is likely to happen in the event the maket goes down another
- 20%. My understanding is that if I surrender the house to the bank, my
- debt is not completely canceled(i.e. the bank could still attach my other
- assets). Am I correct in this understanding? Thanks! I'm also a little
- confused about the situation regarding exemption of pension assets from
- forclosure in California.
-
- Thanks!
