FAQ
Do you have questions about Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Most filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy are generally concerned about losing assets. I know this can be an anxiety-inducing process, but I want to assure you that many, if not all, of your assets will be exempt (protected) from liquidation, and you will be able to keep them once the bankruptcy case is closed. I will always inform you of any asset that cannot be fully protected, so together we can discuss your options before moving forward with filing your case.
I know that bankruptcy law is incredibly complicated, and it is difficult to understand eligibility for different types of bankruptcy. In general, to be eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you will have to pass a test known as the “Means Test.” However, I do not want you to worry about this process as I will assess your financial situation, and inform you whether or not you qualify. If it is determined you are ineligible for Chapter 7, or it is not the best option for you, we can discuss other available options.
There are a lot of myths and incorrect information about Chapter 7 Bankruptcy out there. Most of those considering bankruptcy worry they will be unable to obtain credit again if they file for bankruptcy. Please rest assured that filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy will not make you ineligible for credit cards, a mortgage, or other loans in the future.
