How Can Bankruptcy Law Affect Debtors in NYC?
In New York, bankruptcy laws can affect debtors in various ways. There are several types of bankruptcy filings available to individuals.
Chapter 7: Liquidation
This type of bankruptcy involves the appointment of a trustee who sells the debtor's non-exempt assets to pay off their debts. New York's bankruptcy exemptions protect certain assets, such as a primary residence or a car, allowing debtors to keep them while still eliminating unsecured debts.
Chapter 13: Individual Debt Adjustment
This refers to a form of bankruptcy wherein debtors can suggest a payment plan to settle their debts within three to five years. If the court approves the plan, it may entail lower payments or longer terms. After completing the repayment plan, any remaining unsecured debts can be discharged.
