Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Hanford?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in California, your household income must be below the median income for a similar-sized family in the state, as calculated by the means test. For Hanford, this median is adjusted periodically by the U.S. Trustee Program. If your income is higher, you may still qualify after deducting certain expenses.
How long does a Chapter 13 bankruptcy repayment plan last in California?
A Chapter 13 repayment plan typically lasts 3 to 5 years, depending on your income relative to the California median. If your income is below the median, you can propose a 3-year plan. If it is above, a 5-year plan is generally required. The plan must be approved by the bankruptcy court in Fresno.
What property can I keep if I file for bankruptcy in Hanford?
California allows you to choose between state exemptions (Code of Civil Procedure sections 703.140 and 704.010-704.990) or federal bankruptcy exemptions. State exemptions protect items like a vehicle up to a certain value, household goods, and a portion of your home equity. A Hanford lawyer can help you select the best set of exemptions for your situation.
