Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bankruptcy are available in East Longmeadow?
Individuals in East Longmeadow can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which discharges most unsecured debts, or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which sets up a repayment plan over three to five years. Both options are available in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Massachusetts?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes three to six months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts three to five years while you make payments under the court-approved plan. Massachusetts does not have a waiting period for filing after a previous discharge, but timing depends on your specific situation.
Can I keep my house or car if I file for bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts offers generous homestead exemptions that can protect up to $500,000 of equity in your primary residence. You may also be able to keep a vehicle if its equity is below the exemption limit. A lawyer can help you determine which exemptions apply to your property.
