Preparing for Bankruptcy

Before you file for bankruptcy, reviewing your financial situation, speaking with an experienced bankruptcy attorney, and examining all of your possible options is best practice. Beyond being able to provide all of the relevant financial information associated with your assets and liabilities, preparing for bankruptcy involves understanding how your income, or lack thereof, along with the goals of your bankruptcy relate to the type of bankruptcy you file.

Preparing for bankruptcy requires a complete and accurate accounting of your assets and debts. Proper due diligence is essential in helping you regain your financial independence, and Duncan & Brow, Attorneys at Law, has decades of experience to assist you. In addition, bankruptcy can often be filed without forfeiting retirement assets, and should be considered before the liquidation of retirement accounts.

The Limitations of Bankruptcy

Obtaining a discharge in either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 will eliminate debts from credit cards, medical bills, and other personal loans; however, some financial obligations, such as child support, alimony, and tax debts, may not be dischargeable. However, if you are delinquent on any debt that is dischargeable, a Chapter 13 can help you cure those delinquencies and get back on track.
