Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Florida homestead exemption in bankruptcy?
Florida has an unlimited homestead exemption for property up to one half acre in a municipality or 160 acres elsewhere. This exemption applies if you live on the property and meet residency requirements. It can protect your home from creditors in bankruptcy.
How long does a Chapter 7 bankruptcy take in Sarasota?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Sarasota typically takes 3 to 4 months from filing to discharge. You must complete credit counseling before filing and a debtor education course after. The court process includes a meeting of creditors usually held in Tampa.
Can I keep my car if I file bankruptcy in Florida?
You can keep your car if you use the Florida motor vehicle exemption which covers up to $1,000 of equity in one vehicle. If you have a car loan you may reaffirm the debt to keep the vehicle. Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on missed payments over time.
