Frequently Asked Questions
What is the means test for bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
The means test compares your income to the median income for a Massachusetts household of your size. If your income is below the median, you may qualify for Chapter 7. If it is above, you might need to file Chapter 13. A Hanover lawyer can calculate this for you.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Massachusetts?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. This is a federal rule, not specific to Massachusetts, but it applies to all Hanover residents.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Hanover?
Massachusetts has a homestead exemption that protects up to $500,000 of equity in your primary residence if you file the declaration before bankruptcy. For Chapter 7, you can keep your home if your equity is within this limit. For Chapter 13, you can keep it by paying arrears through a repayment plan.
