Frequently
Asked Questions

01. What types of bankruptcy exist and which one is right for me?

There are mainly two types of bankruptcy: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 generally discharges most debts, while Chapter 13 lets you reorganize debts and make payments over time. The best option will depend on your income, assets and type of debt.

02. What happens to my house if I file for bankruptcy?

Whether you can keep your house depends on the type of bankruptcy you choose and your specific circumstances. In some cases, you may be able to keep your house if you're current on mortgage payments or can catch up through a payment plan.

03. How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit history?

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy generally stays on your credit report for 10 years, while a Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years.

04. Can I file for bankruptcy if I own a business?

Yes, it's possible. Chapter 7 bankruptcy can liquidate your business assets to pay creditors, while Chapter 13 may let you reorganize your business debts and keep operating.

05. What happens to my taxes if I file for bankruptcy?

Tax debts can't always be discharged in a bankruptcy proceeding. However, there are exceptions and the possibility of negotiating a payment agreement with the IRS. It's important to consult with our attorneys to determine how your taxes will be handled.
