Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Massachusetts, your household income must be below the state median for your family size, which is adjusted periodically. If your income is higher, you may need to pass a means test to determine eligibility. A Ludlow bankruptcy lawyer can help calculate your income and expenses.
What property can I keep if I file for bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts allows you to use state exemptions to protect certain assets, such as up to $500,000 in home equity, a vehicle worth up to $7,500, and personal property up to $5,000. These exemptions are updated periodically, so check current limits with your lawyer. You cannot keep property that exceeds these exemption amounts.
