Q. What is chapter 7
Bankruptcy?
A.
Chapter 7 is the most frequently used chapter because it
involves the complete liquidation of a debtor's property,
with the proceeds used to pay off the debts. However, the
debtor can retain certain exempt property under Federal
law and/or State law, such as tools of one's trade,
limited equity in a car and house, and some personal
effects. If you use Chapter 7 you may lose your home
(depending on your state) but it does enable you to get
out from under the burden of debt more
quickly.
