Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyer Serving the Hudson Valley
What is Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy is a right U.S. citizens have to eliminate debt and get a fresh financial start. Most people who file for bankruptcy do so under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is available to both individuals and businesses and can eliminate most debts, such as credit cards and personal loans. In some cases, tax debts can even be eliminated. Although chapter 7 may be referred to as “liquidation,” due to the fact that nonexempt property could be surrendered to pay off debts, New York law and Federal law protects many of your assets. In fact, it is extremely rare for anyone filing chapter 7 bankruptcy in New York to lose any property at all.

How do you file bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy, whether filed in Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, can be a complicated and daunting task for those unfamiliar with the process. Those wishing to file for bankruptcy must complete a number of mandatory schedules and declarations, describing in detail their income and assets. Failure to complete the forms properly and submit them on time could prove detrimental, and could lead to unanticipated complications, such as loss of assets and possible dismissal.
