Frequently Asked Questions About Bankruptcy
What types of bankruptcy can I file for?
There are several types of bankruptcy you may consider, including Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often referred to as liquidation bankruptcy, where non-exempt assets may be sold to pay off debts. In contrast, Chapter 13 allows you to reorganize your debts and create a repayment plan over three to five years. The right choice for you will depend on your financial situation, income, and long-term goals. Our team will help you understand the differences and guide you in selecting the best option during your consultation.
How long does the bankruptcy process take?
The duration of the bankruptcy process can vary based on the type of bankruptcy you file and the complexity of your situation. Typically, Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be completed in about three to six months, while Chapter 13 may take three to five years due to the repayment plan involved. Factors such as the number of creditors, the amount of debt, and any disputes can also influence the timeline. Our firm will provide you with a clearer timeline during your consultation, ensuring you know what to expect at each stage of the process.
