Although you may already have some information about filing bankruptcy in Colorado, your Colorado bankruptcy lawyer will probably begin by asking you important questions about your debts, assets, and financial goals.
Your answers will help determine if you should file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often referred to as "liquidation." The bankruptcy trustee in Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases may opt to sell any non-exempt assets you own. The plus side is that most often, people who choose to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy do not own any non-exempt property. In many Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, many unsecured debts can be discharged and there is no liquidation.
One of your first tasks when filing Chapter 7 may be to ask your attorney which and how much of the items you own may be exempt from liquidation.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is usually called "reorganization." By filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy you may be able to keep most of your property and create a three-five year debt repayment plan to catch up on your past due debts.
If filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy is your best option, one of the first things you will do is create a proposed repayment plan for your debts.
Colorado bankruptcy laws are complex and very specific. It is natural that many people often feel confused or overwhelmed by all of the details. Talk to a local lawyer about your filing bankruptcy options.
Your attorney will likely explain the bankruptcy process in detail and clear up any confusion that you may have about your bankruptcy case.
