Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often called "liquidation" because in Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, the bankruptcy trustee has the option to liquidate (sell) any non-exempt property owned by the debtor. In many Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, there is no liquidation because the person filing bankruptcy does not own any non-exempt property.
For people who do not own many assets, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be an attractive option because many unsecured debts - including mortgage, credit card and medical bills - could be eliminated.
Debtors who choose to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy should meet with their attorney to discuss which and how much of their assets may be exempt from liquidation.
Note: A person may have either an exempt rural homestead or an exempt urban homestead, but not both.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is called “reorganization.” By filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy, debtors who own a lot of property could be able to keep most of their assets.
After filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the debtor creates and proposes a repayment plan to be approved by the bankruptcy court. This three-five year plan gives the debtor time to catch up on past due bills.
