Bankruptcy Exemptions
When you file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you are allowed to permanently discharge, or wipe out, debts and keep certain assets. The assets you may keep are determined by state law and usually include your home, a motor vehicle and retirement plans. You can protect some personal property as well. Our attorneys will carefully explain what you can keep, so that you can decide whether Chapter 7 is right for you.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy does not require the sale of your property if you can keep your payments current. In most cases, Chapter 13 will stop foreclosure on your house and repossession of your car.
