My husband died about 8 months ago very unexpectedly. He had just started a new job and didn't have benefits (he was about 3 weeks away from them kicking in). I now have around $60,000 of medical debts (I'm surprised they're not more). His student loans will be forgiven. The only asset we had was his car (mine is still in my dads name, thank god).
I am thinking of filing bankruptcy to rid myself of the medical debt. I'm 24 so I could potentially recover from this by the time I'm 30, right? Does anyone know if I can sell his car and live off the money? If I did sell it, would they go after that money? How long before I could buy a home? Will I be able to take out student loans for graduate school? My dad is willing to co-sign if that matters.
I make around $28,000 if that matters.
Let me know if I should add more information.
I would really appreciate any help I can get. When I start to think about this stuff, I just start to feel like my life is basically over.
