Question:

 

Can you file bankruptcy for someone else. My sister and brother in law had a business that went bad. Ashamed of what had happened, they left their house, business, cars, and just left, never to be seen again. The problem is that the creditors keep on calling me asking if i have heard from them . I'm sure that someone took possession of all those but i don't know who, or how much is still owing. How do i find out , and if they ever wanted to return to the country, what could they do. Thanks.

Answer:

 

You cannot file a bankruptcy for anyone else unless you have their enduring power of attorney. The court has to then be satisfied that they are incapicated to the degree that they cannot act on their own behalf.
