Indiana Bankruptcy Districts and OLH Coverage
Indiana is served by 2 federal bankruptcy districts: the Northern District of Indiana and Southern District of Indiana. Own Luxury Homes® maintains bankruptcy-specialist realtors available for trustee appointments in every Indiana district.
| District | Coverage | OLH Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Northern District of Indiana | Indiana bankruptcy court serving that district’s cases | OLH specialists available |
| Southern District of Indiana | Indiana bankruptcy court serving that district’s cases | OLH specialists available |
Indiana’s moderate exemption and growing Indianapolis and Fort Wayne markets generate steady trustee appointment activity. Both districts are active in residential and small commercial bankruptcy real estate.
Indiana Homestead Exemption and Trustee Sale Threshold
The Indiana homestead exemption is $19,300 (Ind. Code §34-55-10-2). The Chapter 7 trustee can only pursue a residential sale if the net equity after the mortgage payoff, the homestead exemption, and estimated sale costs (OLH commission 5–6%, closing costs 2–3%) yields a meaningful creditor distribution.
Exemption amounts change. Always verify current amounts with a bankruptcy attorney licensed in Indiana.
OLH delivers a preliminary BPO within 5–7 business days to support the trustee’s threshold determination. See: BPO and Appraisal Guide — When Trustees Abandon Property.
The OLH Indiana Appointment Process
When a Indiana trustee contacts OLH about a bankruptcy real estate engagement:
(1) Same-day engagement confirmation: OLH confirms specialist availability in the Indiana market within 24 hours.
(2) 48-hour Rule 2014 affidavit: after receiving the creditor matrix and case details from the trustee’s attorney, OLH delivers the complete sworn affidavit within 48 hours, formatted for the relevant Indiana district.
(3) 5–7 day BPO: court-formatted Broker’s Price Opinion with 3–6 comparable sales, condition documentation, and recommended list price range.
(4) §327 application support: OLH provides the affidavit, proposed order language, and BPO for immediate attachment to the trustee’s attorney’s §327 filing.
(5) Listing through closing: after court appointment, OLH lists the property on MLS, markets actively through the §363 notice period to generate overbid competition, and supports the trustee’s attorney through the court hearing and closing.

Ryan Brown, Principal Broker & CEO — Own Luxury Homes®
“A Indiana trustee should not have to think about whether I know the local Indiana market and the bankruptcy court’s expectations simultaneously. I know both. The BPO reflects Indiana comparable sales. The affidavit is formatted for the Northern District of Indiana. The listing goes up immediately after court appointment. That is the standard.”
