If you are overwhelmed with debt and failing to keep paying your monthly financial obligations a chapter 7 bankruptcy can bring some help. One of the major aims of a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is to discharge certain financial obligations in order to provide a borrower with a fresh start. The applicant will not be liable for debts which have been discharged under the bankruptcy and could start rebuilding their financial condition quickly after emerging from the bankruptcy. Bankruptcy applications will often be a traumatic and grueling process for most debtors; however, a qualified Tampa Bankruptcy Attorney may offer assistance. A Tampa bankruptcy lawyer may complete the bankruptcy documents and give expert legal advice.
Unlike a chapter 13 bankruptcy, a chapter 7 bankruptcy does not require the filing of a payment plan. Instead, the bankruptcy trustee collects and sells the debtor's assets and uses the income of such assets to pay the debtor's lenders. However, a few classifications of assets will be exempt from the bankruptcy and the trustee will not liquidate the exempt assets in order to pay the creditor's claims. For instance, particular retirement accounts may be categorized as exempt and thus not subject to liquidation by the bankruptcy trustee. Most notably, a debtor's pension account and social security will often be exempt from the chapter 7 liquidation. A qualified Tampa Bankruptcy Lawyer could assess your assets and help ascertain which assets may be exempt from the chapter 7 bankruptcy. Prior to filing for a chapter 7 bankruptcy a borrower should always speak with an experienced Tampa bankruptcy attorney to get a broad appreciation of the possible implications which could occur from the bankruptcy.
