Bankruptcy Attorneys in Fort Walton Beach Provide Guidance for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

August 27, 2019 – – Fort Walton Beach, FL. – Lewis & Jurnovoy, P.A., a bankruptcy law firm in Fort Walton Beach, has given a beginner’s guide to Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This guide is given to those who are interested in learning more about Chapter 7, as well as answering frequently asked questions.

Lewis and Jurnovoy first recommend understanding what Chapter 7 bankruptcy entails. Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves canceling a person’s debts without repayment, save for repossessing certain assets to pay creditors.

Lewis & Jurnovoy, P.A. are often asked if a client will be able to erase all their debts. Unfortunately, Florida law will still require a debtor to pay certain debts. Those debts include student loans, taxes, child support, and others. Each client’s case is unique, so it is best to consult a bankruptcy lawyer to know what debts will still be required to pay.

Another commonly asked question is what assets will be repossessed as payment to creditors. People often believe everything will be taken from them if they file for bankruptcy. However, the state of Florida protects residents from losing specific assets. Assets that will be not be repossessed are called “exemptions”. Personal property, homes, cars, and many other assets are common exemptions. A court will determine what non-exempt assets will be repossessed.
