Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Florida?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to discharge most unsecured debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to keep your property and repay debts through a 3 to 5 year payment plan. Florida law provides specific exemptions that affect which chapter is right for you.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Delray Beach?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 4 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts 3 to 5 years while you make payments. The court process includes a meeting of creditors usually held within 30 to 45 days of filing.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Florida?
Florida has an unlimited homestead exemption for property up to half an acre in a municipality or 160 acres elsewhere. This means most homeowners can keep their primary residence in bankruptcy if they meet the equity and residency requirements. You must have lived in Florida for at least 2 years to use this exemption.
