Trusts and Estates

• Estate Planning

Finance Law

• Bankruptcy
  A Chapter 7 is often called a liquidation bankruptcy. In such a bankruptcy the debtor’s unsecured debts are generally discharged. An example of an unsecured debt is a credit card debt. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy the debtor most often keeps their home and automobile. Additionally, although a bankruptcy may be reported on your credit record for as long as ten years, a debtor’s credit score will most often rise after he receives his discharge, not go down.
• Foreclosure
  A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a repayment plan. This bankruptcy is generally for debtors who are in danger of foreclosure or debtors who are in a higher income bracket. In this bankruptcy the debtor most often repays a percentage of his unsecured debt and pays the total arrearage owed on a mortgage or other secured debt over a period of time. As with a Chapter 7, a debtor’s credit score will most often rise after he receives a discharge, not go down.
