In re Ray Meinders and Joy Meinders

Bankr. No.: 
00-40914
Chapter: 
13
Date of Decision: 
November 7, 2006
Issue: 
Whether Debtors were entitled to a refund of statutory attorneys’ fees paid to the county post-petition as part of a setting aside of some tax deeds where Debtors failed to list the county as a creditor and also failed to ensure tax deeds were not issued after learning of tax certificates being issued and where the county issued the tax certificates after learning of the bankruptcy?
Ruling: 
The Court allowed the statutory attorneys’ fees as a reasonable and necessary administrative expense incurred by the bankruptcy estate. Thus, the county was not required to refund the money to Debtors.
