Understanding Bankruptcy: Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13
Bankruptcy is a legal process designed to help individuals and businesses eliminate or repay their debts under the protection of the bankruptcy court.
PH&B Law Office concentrates on two types of bankruptcy filings: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
The Liquidation Option
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy offers a fresh financial start by discharging most unsecured debts, such as credit card balances and medical bills. It provides a swift resolution, typically within 3 to 6 months, allowing individuals to move forward quickly.
This form of bankruptcy also helps protect essential assets, like a primary residence or vehicle, under certain exemptions, safeguarding basic living needs while eliminating debt.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
The Liquidation Option
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy allows individuals to reorganize their debts and create a manageable repayment plan, typically spanning 3 to 5 years. It offers the advantage of keeping valuable assets, such as a home or car, that might otherwise be lost in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
This approach also provides a structured path to debt relief, potentially reducing overall debt amounts and stopping accruing interest on certain debts.
Why Legal Counsel Is Important in Bankruptcy Filings
Navigating the bankruptcy process can be complex and intimidating without the right guidance.
Our attorneys at PH&B Law Office are here to provide the legal counsel you need to make informed decisions about your financial future. Here's why professional legal assistance is crucial:
- Understanding Your Options: Our attorneys can help you understand the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy and determine which option is best suited to your circumstances.
- Maximizing Asset Protection: We work diligently to protect as many of your assets as possible, leveraging exemptions and legal strategies to minimize asset liquidation.
- Navigating Legal Requirements: The bankruptcy process involves numerous legal requirements and deadlines. Our team ensures that all paperwork is filed accurately and on time, avoiding any potential issues that could arise from errors or omissions.
- Dealing with Creditors: Once you file for bankruptcy, the automatic stay goes into effect, stopping most creditors from contacting you. Our attorneys handle communications with creditors, providing you with peace of mind and the space to focus on your fresh start.
