Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bankruptcy are available in Owensboro Kentucky?
Individuals in Kentucky can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy which wipes out most unsecured debt or Chapter 13 bankruptcy which sets up a repayment plan over three to five years. Chapter 7 requires a means test based on Kentucky median income. Chapter 13 is often used to stop foreclosure or catch up on missed car payments.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Kentucky?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes about three to four months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 plans last three to five years. The automatic stay goes into effect immediately upon filing which stops most collection actions.
What property can I keep in a Kentucky bankruptcy?
Kentucky allows you to use state exemptions which protect up to five thousand dollars of equity in your home and up to three thousand dollars in a vehicle. You can also keep household goods and tools of your trade up to certain limits. Federal exemptions are not available to Kentucky residents.
