Bankruptcy Attorneys ▪ Tampa and Orlando
Bankruptcy Law Group, P.A. is able to help most of our clients who are in debt keep most of their personal property.
In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can keep your property as long as repayment plan guidelines are met. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation bankruptcy) involves a court-appointed trustee who determines which of your assets can be sold to pay off your debts.
Our attorneys can streamline the process of bankruptcy for you. Call (800) 492-4352, Orlando Office (407) 347-6656 or Tampa Office (813) 489-5109 or reach us by e-mail.
Help You Keep Your Personal Property
When you meet with us, we can help determine what personal property you can keep. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, for instance, bankruptcy law dictates that collectibles, antiques, vacation homes, cash and bank accounts can be sold to pay your creditors. However, collectibles and antiques and other personal property can also be bought back from the trustee for a minimal fee.
We Represent You With the Trustee
We will explain all your options to you so you can make wise decisions about your future. We will help you understand what property is exempt from creditors in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and what is not, including your home, your car or other belongings. We can also help you determine whether retirement plans, disability and other payments are included once you file for bankruptcy. Most importantly, we will aggressively and reliably represent your interests to the trustee so that you have the best possible situation in place for a debt-free future. We bring nearly 17 years of experience to each of our consultations.
In Florida, if you have $100,000 worth of equity in your home, you can exempt that from your trustee. This means that you get to keep your house.
