Bankruptcy- Personal
Personal bankruptcy allows an individual who is hopelessly burdened with debt to make a fresh start by wiping out his or her debt. This is a last resort option in most cases, as an individual’s credit rating is negatively affected for many years. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the individual’s assets are liquidated and turned over to a court trustee to pay off creditors. The main motives for filing personal bankruptcy are unexpected medical expenses, extreme credit card debt, loss of employment, and divorce. If an individual is considering bankruptcy he/she should observe all other options before coming to a final decision. If Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the last and final decision, then the individual will be allowed to sell assets and reorganize their finances in order to pay for their debts over time. While working to pay off the debt, the individual will be able to keep certain assets such as a car or a home. If an individual is unable to pay their creditors, then they should consult with a bankruptcy attorney immediately. The attorney will evaluate the financial situation and direct the individual to the best alternative to clear them of their debts. Do you have questions about your legal options?
