Chapter 7 bankruptcy isn't appropriate for everyone who is experiencing debt.

A Chapter 7 proceeding has two significant drawbacks. For starters, there is a family size-based income threshold. Most people fall below this line, but you won't be able to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if you are above that threshold. Second, though Chapter 7 will halt the foreclosure process momentarily, it will not stop it indefinitely.

What is Chapter 7 bankruptcy and how does it work?

Upon completion of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filing, your legal responsibility for debts are eliminated. However, certain kinds of debts are non-dischargeable, such as alimony, child support, student loans, and unpaid taxes. Furthermore, even though Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates the debt's underlying personal responsibility, it does not preclude a secured loan such as a mortgage or auto loan. In the vast majority of cases, people will file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and keep all of their assets, including their house.

One of Attorney Alan Verson's primary goals in evaluating each client's condition and drafting the bankruptcy petition is to achieve this. Following the filing of the petition, a Trustee holds a short hearing. A judge is rarely called upon to hear a Chapter 7 bankruptcy appeal.

Keep Your Property and Assets

Even if there is significant equity, it is usually possible to hold the house and all other personal property. It is necessary to delete and discharge a former creditor's attachment of your home in Chapter 7 to eliminate the lien. Reviewing the types and amounts of property owned by the client and attempting to retain all of that property is a critical part of the bankruptcy attorney's job.
