Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
A San Francisco Bankruptcy Attorney clarifies Chapter 7 bankruptcy
It is a common belief that when you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy the court will take and sell everything you own. This is not true. When you file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you can keep more of your property than you’d think, though it varies from state to state. You may even be able to keep the equity in your home!
A homestead exemption is where you can exempt a certain amount of equity in your home. This amount varies from state to state. You can also usually keep a vehicle, along with furnishings, clothing, appliances, and household goods. Plus if you own tools involved with your profession, you can probably keep those too. Other property not mentioned here can often be kept as well.
To determine how to best protect your property in a bankruptcy filing, it is best to contact a lawyer in your area. If you are in the area of one of our offices, feel free to give us a call to schedule your free consultation with one of our bankruptcy attorneys.
