Chapter 7 is the most common bankruptcy in California and the United States. Understanding your various options, filling out the extensive and complex paperwork, and understanding what options are the ones that are most beneficial to your specific financial situation can be a confusing and often unrealistic process. Bellow is some information regarding a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7, the most common type of bankruptcy, often referred to as a “liquidation” bankruptcy. It is called chapter 7 because it appear on chapter 7 on the United States Bankruptcy Code. Liquidation means that upon filing, a court appointed trustee liquidated the assets of your estate, then sell them with proceeds going to creditors. But the benefit of chapter 7 bankruptcy is that it cancels most types of debt. There are many assets such as a car or a home that may in many cases be saved from a forced liquidation. Bankruptcy laws are meant to give an individual a fresh start. The court will not take such assets, (i.e. car or home) that will lead to you being unable to start a new debt free financial life. A knowledgeable, trusted, and tenacious bankruptcy attorney will likely maximize your ability to keep many of the assets you own.

What will happen to my property (assets)?

Upon filing just about everything you own becomes subject to the bankruptcy court authority. Property that is not subject to court authority include, pensions, tuition and school education accounts. The property that is under the authority of the court may also include property you improperly transferred to another in anticipation of a bankruptcy. It is important that you protect you assets. That is why you are advised to seek a legal representative from a trusted source which will counsel you as to the proper course of action.
