"IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING"

Gilda Radner 2
Maybe you remember the 1970's "Saturday Night Live" broadcasts where Gilda Radner played a character called Roseanne Roseannadanna.  Her skits would always start with the phrase: "A Mr. Richard Fetter from Fort Lee, New Jersey, writes..."  Whereupon the question of the day would be answered comedically by Roseanne Roseannadanna.  The question we have today, though is not quite so funny.  It comes from another Home Builders Association inquiring of our office and asks what might happen to a builder's license if they and/or his corporation declared bankrupty.  There are many issues to deal with in regards to financial stability, but let's discuss the ones that are most likely relevant to this inquiry:
