The debtor could not exempt property of the estate which he owned as a tenant in the entirety with his non-filing spouse with respect to a debt he owed to the IRS where section 522(b)(3)(B) exempts such property only to the extent it would be exempt under nonbankruptcy law and the Tax Code permits the IRS to collect against the property. Morgan v. Bruton (In re Morgan), No. 21-891 (N.D. N.C. Aug. 12, 2022).

The City of Milwaukee failed to present evidence that the “special charges” on the debtor’s delinquent property tax bill were in the nature of property taxes entitled to priority in the debtor’s Chapter 13 plan. In re Peete, No. 21-23863 (Bankr. E.D. Wisc. June 30, 2022).

A debtor who has shuffled off this mortal coil cannot confirm a Chapter 13 plan where he has no ability to fund it with future income and no need for the fresh start offered by bankruptcy discharge. In re Carrasco, No. 21-51420 (Bankr. W.D. Tex. July 19, 2022).

A debt based on breach of a Stipulated Agreement that was incorporated but not merged into the final Judgment of Divorce was a debt “in connection with” a divorce decree within the meaning of section 523(a)(15) and was therefore nondischargeable in bankruptcy.
