Answers to frequently asked questions.
What is Bankruptcy?
The term "Bankruptcy" generally refers to the United States Bankruptcy law. The
Bankruptcy law is intended to help and protect persons (and businesses) in financial
difficulty and to provide an opportunity for a fresh start, free from unsecured debt.
What does filing a Bankruptcy mean?
When someone says they have "filed a Bankruptcy" they usually mean that they have
filed a Bankruptcy petition (or "case") with the Court. A Bankruptcy petition sets out all
the property and all of the debtor's debts and asks the Court for relief from debt as
permitted under the Bankruptcy law.
Will I lose any of my property if I file a Bankruptcy?
Although the law requires complete disclosure to the Court of all assets and debts, the
law also provides exemptions that allow the debtor to keep equity in certain types of
property. Because of these exemptions, in the vast majority of cases, Bankruptcy does
not result in the loss of any of the debtor's property. The ability to keep property is an
important consideration - it is also an issue that can (and should be) determined with
great accuracy before a case is even filed.
