Bankruptcy Exemptions

In both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, a number of assets are always exempt from being lost during bankruptcy, particularly retirement accounts, pensions and workers’ compensation benefits.

In a Chapter 7, people almost never lose their homes or cars. We can work with you to determine what will happen to your assets, based on a number of factors such as the equity you have in them.

In many situations, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is ideal for people who want to save their home from foreclosure, as the process allows you to pay off your debts over a three- to five-year period, reorganizing and paying off your debt in a controlled manner.
