Bankruptcy: The Options

We understand that facing financial difficulties can be incredibly stressful, and we are here to provide guidance on the various bankruptcy options available to individuals in the Westmoreland region. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions and choose the most appropriate bankruptcy solution for your specific circumstances.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy:

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as "liquidation bankruptcy," is a common option for individuals who are unable to repay their debts. In this process, non-exempt assets are sold to repay creditors, and most unsecured debts are discharged. Chapter 7 provides a fresh start, but it's important to understand the eligibility criteria, exemptions, and potential consequences involved. Our experienced team of bankruptcy attorneys can assess your situation and guide you through the Chapter 7 process, ensuring that you understand your rights and obligations.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy:

Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also referred to as "reorganization bankruptcy," may be the right choice if you have a regular income and want to retain your assets while repaying your debts. This option involves creating a manageable repayment plan that lasts three to five years. It allows you to catch up on missed mortgage or car payments while protecting your property from foreclosure or repossession. Our dedicated attorneys can help you navigate the Chapter 13 process, developing a repayment plan tailored to your financial capabilities and long-term goals.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy:

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is primarily intended for businesses, but individuals with complex financial situations or substantial debts can also consider this option. It involves reorganizing debts and creating a feasible repayment plan while continuing operations. Chapter 11 provides flexibility and the opportunity to restructure your financial affairs effectively. Our knowledgeable team can provide expert guidance and support throughout the Chapter 11 process, ensuring that you have the necessary tools to emerge from bankruptcy successfully.
