  • Bankruptcy Question

WHAT IS A CHAPTER 13

Many people elect to petition for Chapter 13 when foreclosure threatens in order to save their home. It is much easier to qualify for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy if in taking the means test you determined that you are not eligible to file under Chapter 7 due to a number of reasons including too high of an income. To file under Chapter 13 your unsecured debts must not exceed $337,000, and your secured debts must not exceed $1,010,000.

Another major difference is in Chapter 7 your debt is discharged within a few months, whereas Chapter 13 takes 3 to 5 years before your debt is discharged. Working with a West Palm Beach bankruptcy lawyer at the Walker Law Firm, P.A. will give you the advice and guidance necessary to smooth your way through the process.
